About

Hi there, I'm Natasha, Does life seem to be a constant battle to balance everyday life tasks and responsibilities? Are you finding it difficult to manage and maintain your health, relationships, school or work? Do you feel lost or distracted by thoughts of uncertainty, fear or worry? As your therapist , I empower and encourage you to persevere through tough feelings related to anxiety and or depression. Together we will work towards identifying what is meaningful and prioritize goals you want to work towards. Together we will identify which evidence based theoretical approach best fits your needs and expectations. Your past situations and experiences can impact on your well-being, mood, behaviors, and how you view yourself, others and the world. It takes courage to seek therapy and you've made a great decision towards improving your mental health. I am here to support you along your journey of healing and understanding your true self. I'll provide you a safe, compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings and identify unhealthy patterns that keep holding you back from personal growth. I look forwarding to meeting you! Specialties: Proficient in a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions to support clients in managing and overcoming mental health challenges. Credentials & Experience: I've worked with children, teens and adults who have struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, and stress. These symptoms can impact on your daily functioning, relationships, physical/mental health and your sense of self. CBT, SFT, ACT, are modalities that can reduce these symptoms.

"Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that is commonly used in clinical settings to help individuals identify and change negative patterns of thought, behavior, and emotional responses. In CBT sessions, therapists guide clients through a series of steps that are designed to address the client's specific issues."
