Hi there! My name is Natalie, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in the mental health field for 8 years. I would say my strong suit is working with clients dealing with: mens Issues, military populations, prenatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, low self- esteem, and social anxiety. My passion is working with people going through their toughest moments and watching them transform into the best version of themselves in the process. I really believe that each client deserves individualized treatment, not just a "cookie cutter" approach. I take my time building trust with my clients so they feel safe to be vulnerable in sessions with me. My ultimate goal is to create an environment where healing can happen.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I believe that having goals in therapy is the best way to see progess tangibly. After our first session, we will work together to outline what your top three goals are and how you can achieve them with our work together.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I view my clients as a whole person, not just their struggles. I love utilizing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessment to get a deeper sense of who my clients are and what treatments will be most benefitial to them. Some of the treatment methods I utilize are as follows: Attachment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Trauma Informed CBT, Values work, and Supportive Therapy. I've worked with a variety of clients including men, women, young adults, military populations (active duty and veterans), culturally diverse persons, and elders.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths are creating a calm enviornment that makes clients feel safe. I feel that I am very "disarming" as a person and my approach is warm and kind. Because of this, my client populations tend to be men who struggle with anger, avoidance, or unsure of therapy and women who are dealing with mental health issues during pregnancy and postpartum. Although I do see a wide variety of clients, these are my strong suits.
