Hi I'm Natalie and I want to help you build a life that feels authentic and purposeful. Do you feel like you’re navigating life on autopilot, and have difficulty showing up for your work, your relationships, or yourself? You may find yourself caught in cycles of people-pleasing or seeking external validation, only to end up feeling drained and unfulfilled. If you feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, know that you don’t have to navigate this alone. In our sessions, we’ll move beyond the 'what' to understand the roots of your struggle while building practical, compassionate strategies to help you reclaim your confidence and advocate for your needs.

Virtual & in-person • 15 mi away • San Diego, CA


Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges or feeling stuck-you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'm a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of experience in the field helping individuals and couples create lasting, meaningful change.

Together, we’ll identify what brings you to therapy, we'll gently look at where you're feeling stuck and examine the patterns that are no longer serving you. Then, with evidence-based interventions we'll modify these patterns leading to lasting meaningful change.

My formal clinical training was received through the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I gained extensive experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy to military veterans and their partners. I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute, founded by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and Dr. Judith S. Beck. I specialize in treating PTSD (combat and sexual trauma), Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Grief and Couples.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don't have to sort through everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or a season of change, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what's been coming up for you.

I work with adults who want support feeling more balance, more connected to themselves, and better able to manage the challenges in front of them. I also support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and other meaningful life transitions.

My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and real. We'll talk through what's been difficult, identify what may be keeping you stuck, and work together toward changes that feel manageable and meaningful in your everyday life.
