Hi, my name is Natalie, and I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a highly effective and evidence-based approach to therapy. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals of all ages overcome challenges, improve their mental well-being, and achieve their goals. Trough CBT, you will explore and understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will work to identify negative thought patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your difficulties and guiding you in developing healthier and more adaptive ways of thinking.

In our sessions, we will work together to set specific and achievable goals based on your unique needs and aspirations. Through a structured and goal-oriented approach, we will focus on the here and now, exploring how your thoughts and behaviors impact your current challenges. By gaining insight into the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, you will develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns that may be holding you back.
