Hi, my name is Natasha
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors and hold a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for support, and my goal is to create a welcoming space where you feel accepted, heard, seen, and safe enough to share your story.
My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and relational. I recognize that our unique social and cultural identities deeply shape our experiences, including the challenges we face. I’m also mindful of how larger societal structures can also impact well-being. I focus on creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship that helps you navigate difficulties while also celebrating your strengths and successes along the way.
Grounded in neuroscience, my practice integrates a variety of modalities including Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT), somatic therapy, inner child work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These experiential approaches recognize the interconnection of mind, body, and emotions.
In our sessions, I may invite you to notice what is happening for you in the present moment, fostering curiosity about your experience as we work together. Through mindful exploration, we can make space for your emotions to be expressed and released, transform core beliefs that may keep you feeling stuck, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with your authentic core self. These processes can enhance your resilience and foster growth and change.
I work with adults navigating a range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. I am also LGBTQIA2S+ allied and strive to offer a neurodiversity-affirming, inclusive space.
At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of connection, the wisdom of the body, and our innate ability to heal and thrive. If you’re curious about how we might work together, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and explore whether we may be a good fit.
