Hi, I’m Natasha (she/her).

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and relational. I focus on creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship that helps you navigate difficulties while also celebrating your strengths, successes and joys along the way. My lens is also intersectional. Some of my identities include being a woman of mainly white, settler ancestry as well as Indigenous ancestry through my great grandma. I also have lived experience with chronic illness. I am curious how each of our unique identities impacts our experiences as well as our therapeutic relationship. 

My therapeutic orientation is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and integrates somatic therapy, inner child exploration and internal parts work. I’m drawn to these experiential approaches as they recognize the systemic interconnection of our mind, body, and emotions, as well as our greater society and environment.

During a session, I may invite you to notice what is happening for you in the present moment, fostering curiosity about your experience as we work together. Through mindful exploration, we can make space for your emotions to be expressed and released, transform core beliefs that may be keeping you feeling stuck, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with your authentic core self. These processes may enhance your resilience and foster growth and change.

When I am not doing therapy, I may be found reading, walking near the forest and ocean, cooking with my partner, and listening to music. I also love animals and often daydream about all of the cats and dogs I’d love to adopt one day.
