About Natalie
I’m a San Francisco-based psychotherapist supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I offer therapy virtually across California.
I care deeply about creating a therapy space where clients feel safe and understood. I approach my work with openness and curiosity about how identity and lived experience shape each person’s inner world and relationships.
My background includes a decade in high-pressure corporate roles, experience as a birth doula, and an MBA with a focus on coaching. These experiences shape my grounded, relational approach and inform how I support clients in exploring anxiety, identity shifts, relationship patterns, and life transitions.
My Approach
I integrate multiple therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic, narrative, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, alongside mindfulness and self-compassion practices. For couples work, I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
My style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I deeply respect the vulnerability it takes to engage in therapy and prioritize safety, trust, and frequent check-ins. I encourage client feedback and believe in the inherent capacity of individuals to heal.
Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’ve been in sessions before, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll work to explore patterns, build insight, and amplify clarity, connection, and authentic growth.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey.
