Our approach blends evidence-based talk therapy with art therapy, allowing clients to process emotions and explore personal challenges through both verbal and creative expression. This combination deepens self-understanding, fosters insight, and supports meaningful, lasting change.

How Natalie would describe herself:

“Working with me is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I provide a welcoming environment to explore your thoughts and emotions, while gently challenging you when growth calls for it. I bring humor, creativity, and flexibility to our work, helping you engage in therapy in ways that feel meaningful and authentic to you.”

We understand that financial situations can change. We offer a sliding scale for clients based on individual circumstances, including temporary hardships, to make therapy more accessible. Please get in touch to see what might be possible.
