ASBSWE Approved Clinical Supervisor
Prepare/Enrich Certified
Hi, my name is Natasha, and I am so glad that you are here!
I am a therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. More importantly, I am also someone who understands that none of us have it all figured out - life can be complicated, relationships can be messy, and we all need someone to help us navigate this thing called life.
Before I tell you about the professional stuff, here are a few things that might help you get to know me as a fellow human being.
Who I Am Outside of the Office
I am a wife and a dog Mom
Owner & Therapist
People Are Doing the Best They Can
I believe people do the best they can with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and resources available to them at any given moment. Sometimes, the ways we learn to cope help us get through difficult circumstances, even when those same strategies may no longer serve us in the ways we hope.
I believe people do the best they can with the resources, knowledge, skills, and abilities they have in any given moment. Therapy, to me, is a place where we can slow down, make sense of what we have experienced, better understand ourselves, and find new ways of moving through life. I hold dear the trust and sacredness of the therapeutic relationship, and it is a privilege to walk alongside my clients and witness their lives unfold.
