Natalie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from California State University, Fullerton. Natalie’s goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore life’s many challenges. She works from a non-judgemental, affirming, collaborative, trauma-informed, and attachment based lens. She has experience working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, love addiction, co-dependency, personality disorders, relationship issues, survivors of abusive relationships/trauma bonds, anger, low self-esteem, grief, ADHD, PTSD, and complex PTSD. Natalie uses an open, integrative form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client. She draws from a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, strengths based therapy, music therapy, psychodynamic, IFS, and mindfulness based therapy. Depending on the client’s needs, she will customize the therapeutic process for each individual by using whatever form of treatment or combination of treatments that has been shown to be the most effective for treating the particular presenting problem.
