I help adults navigate the weight of self-doubt, strained relationships, and life’s uncertainties, guiding them to understand themselves more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and find practical ways to feel steady, capable, and truly seen.

Not a new life, just one that feels better.

On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all together. Inside, you feel drained and maybe a little dissatisfied. You tell yourself you “should” be fine, yet ignoring the feeling and pushing through isn’t working anymore.

It shouldn’t be this hard.

So many people describe feeling like they’ve lost their footing, as if the person they used to be slipped away, or the person they want to become is out of reach. I help you make sense of those gaps, untangle the patterns that keep you stuck, and shape a self that feels authentic and alive.

I work with adults facing anxiety, self-doubt, and relationship struggles. Drawing on more than 20 years of clinical experience, I bring a grounded approach that blends professional expertise with real-world understanding.

I know how uncomfortable it can feel to begin therapy. Clients describe me as someone who “gets it," someone warm but not fluffy, knowledgeable and relatable.

Our sessions will feel like a real conversation to help you connect dots, gain insight, and feel supported as you move through life.

Hi. I’m Dr. Natalie


Therapy doesn’t have to take forever.

Reaching out can feel difficult, especially if asking for help isn’t something you’re used to. My role is to help you make sense of what you’re feeling, without judgment, so you can feel more certain in who you are and where you want to go.

Our work is a partnership built on understanding and respect, shaped around your needs. I speak plainly and share what I know in a straightforward way, balanced with empathy and compassion.

Many clients are surprised at how quickly they begin to feel a sense of clarity and relief, just from being understood.

We all carry stories about who we are, where we’ve been, and what’s possible for us. Some of those stories lift us up, and others weigh us down. I help people uncover the stories that are keeping them stuck and create new ones that reflect their strengths, values, and hopes.
