MY COUNSELING PHILOSOPHY
Life is difficult and it is a journey full of experiences to learn from. Everyone struggles at different parts of the journey. We are not here to “fix” everyone but to help them learn how to manage their life and relationships in a more positive, effective way. So much of that lies in understanding yourself and what makes you do what you do. Once you identify those challenges, it is easier to make changes. Counseling is a place to be able to be yourself and look at parts of you that are difficult to face with someone who is non-judgmental and objective. Although it can be painful, in the end it will make your journey well worthwhile. Natalie believes in integrating therapy with insight, spirituality, and humor when appropriate. “Therapy is difficult and can get heavy. I try to help clients move thru the pain but also keep it into perspective.”
