Hi I'm Natalie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience working in the field. I have worked with clients with a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll spend time getting to know each other, then dive into the specific current challenges you're facing, as well as exploring historical information, to provide me with a picture of your life experiences. This will help me create a individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
