About Natalie
She holds the LCPC credential and the LPC credential and has 13 years of experience in counseling. Her background includes private practice work and time at an outpatient behavioral health clinic in downtown Chicago. She has worked with people dealing with addictions, trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career or relationship concerns.
Natalie draws on several clinical approaches to match therapy to what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to focus on the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and motivational interviewing when people are working to change habits. She also integrates existential ideas about meaning and the Gottman Method for relationship issues when relevant.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a Master of Business Administration from James Madison University. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in English and communications. Natalie’s education and clinical work inform a practical, respectful style.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys travel, writing, genealogy, and art. People who value clear steps, steady support, and attention to personal strengths may find her approach useful.
