(she/her)
Welcome! My name is Natasha (she/her/hers), and I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with a diverse background in special education, crisis intervention, geriatrics, and community social work. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and interpersonal challenges. I am deeply committed to providing accessible mental health care, ensuring that you receive adequate treatment regardless of your socioeconomic status or physical location within the state. During our sessions, I will move at your pace, supporting you as you build resilience, strengthen your sense of self, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.
I completely understand that starting therapy for the first time, or even with a new therapist, can be nerve-racking. During our first session, we will spend time getting to know one another. I will ask about your current concerns, gather relevant background information, and explore your goals for therapy. I will also be happy to answer any questions you have about the therapeutic process or my practice. If we decide to move forward with services, we will begin developing a plan that is tailored to your individual needs, strengths, and desired outcomes.
I welcome you to come as you are and share openly in a nonjudgmental space. My approach is evidence-based, primarily incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I may also utilize dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and narrative therapy. I encourage a holistic approach to well-being by recognizing that mental health is influenced by many interconnected factors, including physical health, social relationships, environmental influences, financial well-being, and an overall sense of balance. With extensive experience in case management, I also help clients navigate complex systems, including schools, workplaces, and community resources, when appropriate, to increase the likelihood of positive mental health outcomes.
I am best positioned to support clients experiencing concerns within my scope of practice and who are committed to their therapeutic journey. I never want therapy to feel like a “chore,” but rather a safe space each week where the focus is on your experiences, needs, and goals. If this sounds like the support you are looking for, I hope to hear from you soon!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) across various clinical settings and with diverse age groups, often supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and related concerns. CBT helps clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while developing skills to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and improve problem-solving skills.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach that helps clients manage intense emotions, improve relationships, tolerate distress, and develop healthier ways of responding to challenging situations. DBT emphasizes balancing acceptance of where you are while also working toward meaningful change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps clients develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while taking action guided by their personal values. This approach focuses on building a fulfilling life, even when challenges or discomfort arise.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying strengths, exploring solutions, and building upon what is already working. Rather than focusing only on problems, this approach helps clients identify practical steps toward desired change.
Narrative
Narrative Therapy explores the stories and beliefs individuals hold about themselves and their experiences. This approach helps clients separate themselves from their challenges, recognize their strengths, and reshape the narratives that influence how they view their lives.
