About Natalie

Are you feeling stuck and discouraged? At some time or another we encounter barriers to reaching certain milestones. This is a part of the human experience with the potential to discover new adaptive skills on our learning trajectories. We can get stuck when complex issues, such as trauma, marginalization, mental health and addiction, can feel insurmountable. Relationship is the antidote to suffering and it enables skills development to realize our potentials and confront challenges with greater confidence and effectiveness. I foster a trusting therapeutic relationship for a safe and supportive process of discovery into your history and life experiences to identify obstacles and develop tools to overcome them and reach your milestones.

I apply an integrated therapeutic approach using evidence-based modalities for individualized and adaptive service planning reflective of your unique needs. I have had diverse experience in a wide range of therapeutic contexts since 2005 using multiple evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and specialize in working with trauma in its many forms. I function relationally, non-judgmentally, compassionately and collaboratively from a trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centred perspective. My lens is informed by psychology, sociology, biopsychology and the mind-body connection, attachment and family systems theories, and culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive practice values.

I offer online counselling for anyone in BC or limited in-person in the Kelowna and Vernon areas. I offer walking and outdoor therapy sessions if you are in the Vernon/Armstrong area (some limitations apply – please ask).
