I have been having session for about four months , and I can say Natalie has listened and offered many resources to help me. During this process I know I am getting better , and soon will be able to move forward without having sessions and although I will miss Natalie this is a testament to how well she does her job and cares for her patients.
More about Natalie

- LPC, LCMHC, LMHC
I have proudly served as a licensed professional counselor since 1996. My journey began in community mental health, where I found great fulfillment in helping individuals. However, I was inspired to shift my focus to law enforcement, becoming a mental health professional dedicated to supporting both the community and our courageous officers. After an enriching 20-year career in a local law enforcement agency, I retired in 2019, leaving a legacy of crisis intervention and compassionate service.
Throughout my career, I have stood by individuals and families during some of their most difficult moments. I have navigated complex issues such as mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, sexual crimes, child and elder abuse or neglect, and various tragic circumstances, including natural causes, suicide, homicide, and accidents. These experiences have reinforced three powerful truths: people possess remarkable resilience, they are deeply eager to be heard, and they remain open to exploring options when a foundation of respect and trust is established. My ideal client embodies these qualities, demonstrating a readiness for growth.
I offer telehealth counseling, providing flexible options tailored to your needs. My extensive professional and personal history enables me to effectively support various individuals and families. Moreover, I have a particular passion for working with first responders, both sworn and civilian, and understanding the unique challenges they face.
If you are seeking an open-minded, culturally competent therapist who thrives on creative solutions and innovative approaches, I encourage you to reach out with your questions or interest. I welcome the opportunity to engage in challenging, complex, and meaningful discussions. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the privilege of assisting you on your journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Natalie made me feel comfortable and safe during our sessions. I had never done any counseling before. She had great resources and helped me deal with my husbands alcoholism. I would highly recommend Natalie.
Natalie has been wonderful throughout my sessions. She seems to really care about the people she works with. I was nervous about doing this in the beginning, but Natalie had a way of making me feel at ease almost immediately.
