Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.

Therapist

Living with anxiety and depression can lead to feeling exhausted and joyless. I use several methods to treat those symptoms in adult women, teenagers, and children aged 12+. My goal is to help people learn to enjoy life again. Other focuses of mine are women going through parenting challenges and life transitions and college students and their life transitions, and insomnia. Sleep is so important and can affect mental health on a daily basis.

Therapist

Hi, I'm Jessica — and I'm really glad you found your way here.

I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2012, and in that time I've had the honor of sitting with people through some of their hardest seasons — anxiety, depression, PTSD, and everything life piles on in between. This work never gets old to me, because every person who walks in brings a story I've never heard before.

One thing I believe deeply: you already know yourself better than anyone. My job isn't to hand you a roadmap — it's to help you trust the one you already carry. I'll follow your lead, meet you where you are, and help you move in the direction you actually want to go.
