Hi, I’m Natasha.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and the founder of Inhale Therapy and The Light Collective. I support adults navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, emotional abuse, and the heavy moments in between—with compassion, honesty, and an approach that meets you where you are.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and undergraduate degrees from Oglethorpe University. I’m also certified in Telemental Health (CTMH) and Anxiety Treatment (CCATP). My clinical experience is wide-ranging, but my work is always grounded in respect, integrity, and personal connection.

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is showing up before you even know what you want out of it. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or like something needs to change but you can't quite name what, that's exactly where we start. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and the kind of life experiences that feel too big to sort out alone. You don't need to come in with clear goals. We'll figure that out together.

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


Hello and welcome! I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with individuals, couples, and families who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in relationship patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard and understood while also helping you build tools you can use in your everyday life.

My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. Together, we may work on understanding patterns, managing stress, improving communication, setting healthier boundaries, processing emotions, and strengthening your connection with yourself and others.
