Limited Licensed Master Social Worker
Life is a long road, full of ups and downs, and I’m here to travel part of the way with you. I’m Natalie, and I believe therapy should be a place where you can tell your truth and know you’ll be heard and valued no matter what. I’ve been fortunate to experience the power of empathic listening, and I want to offer a space for you to feel safe, seen, and hopeful about the possibility of whatever change you’re seeking.
I work primarily with adolescents and adults on challenges like anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, and on identity explorations around race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and spirituality. I hold an interdisciplinary trauma certificate from the University of Michigan and am open to a wide range of techniques in practice. We can use the arts, props, books, body movement, breathing techniques, and more to help you reach your goals and feel more confident.
Whatever you’re dealing with, you are not alone. I know it requires a lot of bravery to take this next step, and I look forward to hearing your story.
