How Natalie works

Natalie guides clients through an exploration of unconscious responses to their environment, relationships, family history, and inner conflicts, in an effort to expand capacity for connection with a deeper sense of themselves and those around them. Her work is integrative and tailored to each client. She incorporates family systems, as well as a psychodynamic, psychoanalytic approach. Dream analysis through a Jungian lens is emphasized with clients. Drawing on her background as a professional artist, she also welcomes creativity into the healing process through expressive art exercises. 

Believing strongly in the mind-body connection, Natalie incorporates elements of somatic therapy and is trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused (S.A.F.E.) EMDR, a therapeutic approach and trauma-informed model that considers how trauma affects an individual’s ability to regulat the nervous system and to connect with others.

Natalie works with clients navigating:

  • Relationship, communication, and attachment issues 
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Life transitions
  • Divorce
  • Work-life balance including recovery from burnout
  • Complex trauma
  • Religious trauma, adverse religious experiences, and the effects of high-control or fundamentalist environments
  • Low self-worth
  • Substance use and co-occurring disorders
