Natalia is incredible in the way she provides perspectives that feel authentic and empowering. I always feel listened to and she asks questions I would have never thought of to help me reach the answers I'm searching for. Very lucky to have her!

Natalia is the absolute best! She is literally walking in her calling. She provides honest and genuine approach to the issues and work on not only a solution but getting to the root of the problem with the goal being success. She provides a safe space to express yourself freely and openly. Finding a good therapist is not easy but when you find one you know, and she is THE one. Professional, supportive and caring.

Her approach to getting to know me and understanding my needs during our initial session demonstrated her professionalism. I felt comfortable continuing with subsequent sessions due to her warm and personable communication style.
I am trained in EMDR and use it to help clients process and heal from past trauma and distressing experiences. Through a structured approach, I guide clients in reprocessing difficult memories to reduce their emotional impact and enhance resilience. I tailor EMDR to each client's needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment throughout the process.
I am experienced in using CBT to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. By working collaboratively, I guide clients in developing practical strategies to manage challenges, improve emotional well-being, and achieve their goals. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, fostering personal growth and lasting change.
I use interpersonal therapy to help clients explore and improve their relationships, communication, and emotional well-being. By focusing on relational patterns and life transitions, I support clients in understanding how their interactions impact their mental health and guide them in developing healthier connections.
I use a person-centered approach to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and valued. By focusing on their strengths and innate potential, I empower clients to explore their feelings, set goals, and foster personal growth at their own pace.
I use a strengths-based approach to help clients recognize and build upon their existing abilities and resources. This method empowers individuals by shifting the focus from problems to possibilities, fostering self-confidence and resilience as they work toward their goals and overcome challenges.
