Hi, I’m Natalie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families. I’ve worked with clients navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and parenting stressors, and I aim to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered. I especially enjoy working with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, but are motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and solution-focused. Drawing from CBT and DBT, I help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while also building practical tools to support lasting change. I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a partnership. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and work toward goals that align with the life you want to create. My goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges both in and outside of our sessions.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and begin exploring the challenges you’re currently facing. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, creating space for you to share what’s been weighing on you and what led you to seek support at this time. We’ll also gently explore your past experiences to help me better understand your story, your relationships, and the patterns that may be impacting your current situation. This helps me gain a fuller picture of who you are and what’s most important to you, so that our work together feels relevant and meaningful. Throughout the session, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard and respected. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and begin identifying areas where we can focus our work. From there, we’ll collaborate to create a plan that aligns with your goals, values, and readiness for change. My goal is for you to leave that first session not only feeling understood, but also with a clearer sense of direction and hope for what’s ahead.
What stands out about my approach is the balance between compassion and practicality. I am both solution-focused and insight-driven, helping clients better understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while also building concrete tools for change. I create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard, while also helping them develop the skills needed to create meaningful, lasting change. Drawing from CBT and DBT, I focus on shifting unhelpful thought patterns, improving emotional regulation, and helping clients move toward the life they want with clarity and confidence.
I love working with clients who are hoping to better any aspect of life, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. The client may feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious, but are hopeful that help from a trained clinician maybe the key to improvement.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of my clinical approach and a powerful tool for creating meaningful change. I help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how these patterns can contribute to feeling stuck. Through CBT, I support clients in identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns while building more balanced perspectives and practical coping strategies. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual, helping clients feel more in control and equipped to make lasting changes.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a valuable approach I use to help clients create meaningful change in a focused and efficient way. It emphasizes identifying strengths, building on what’s already working, and developing realistic solutions that can be implemented right away. My approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients leave sessions with a clearer sense of direction and practical steps they can begin using in their daily lives.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach I use to help engage clients and support meaningful change. It encourages clients to explore their own thoughts and feelings while strengthening motivation and commitment to their goals. This method also emphasizes autonomy, ensuring clients remain in control of their own therapeutic process.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is a valuable skill that helps clients manage difficult emotions and navigate challenging situations with greater awareness and ease. I especially enjoy helping clients find mindfulness tools that feel simple, accessible, and engaging, so they can realistically incorporate them into their daily lives.
Humanistic
I also incorporate a Humanistic approach in my work, which emphasizes the whole person and honors each client’s strengths, values, and capacity for growth. This perspective supports clients in building self-awareness, self-acceptance, and a deeper sense of personal meaning in their lives.

Natalie is great! My first session I immediately felt comfortable enough to talk about everything! I held in dark secrets for so long that she helped me feel better mentally and physically. She is understandable and attentive. I am so happy that I reached out to her. I feel a sense of newness! I can’t wait for the next session,

Natalie truly cares about learning who you are and what issues you're facing. She puts you in charge of each of your sessions without ever feeling like you're fully dictating the way the conversation is going. She is super receptive to your needs and is solutions-based when needed. Whether you need validation, coping skills, or just want to talk for a full session, Natalie supports who you are, what you need, and wants to see you succeed!
