She favors clear goals and collaborative planning. Sessions often focus on identifying what matters most, learning new ways to handle difficult feelings, and trying small skills between meetings.
Background and approach
Natalie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping strategies and build better emotional regulation. Natalie also uses mindfulness techniques to help clients notice patterns of thinking and shift out of automatic reactions. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas inform deeper work about family history, attachment, and repeating relationship themes.
This mix lets her tailor sessions to immediate problems and longer-term change. Her style is direct but warm. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can speak plainly about fears, disappointment, and hope.
Parents and individuals who struggle with focus, overwhelm, or relationship conflict will find concrete skill-building alongside thoughtful reflection. Natalie works with people across many concern areas including intimacy, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and trauma-related issues. She helps people sort priorities, reduce persistent anxiety, and create routines that support daily functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on practical skills for noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing focus challenges commonly associated with ADHD.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills help when feelings feel overwhelming, when anger or relationship conflict is frequent, or when someone needs tools to steady day-to-day functioning.
Natalie approaches therapy as a collaboration. She will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what fits. Together you decide whether to emphasize skill practice, mindfulness work, or looking at longer-term patterns in relationships and family history. Adjustments happen as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone can be a shorter check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick questions or ongoing skill reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other obligations while keeping regular progress toward your goals.
