Natasha's Journey

I’d like to take the chance to less formally introduce myself. I would describe myself as extremely values focused, empathetic and non-judgmental.

I am incredibly driven, solution focused and loyal. I see the best in people, their strengths and full potential. I see the resilience within someone’s story, the parts they don’t necessarily see.

How I can help you

As a psychologist with over a decade of experience, I get excited about strong emotional reactions as I know despite the discomfort, these activating events are actually a catalyst for positive change, an opportunity to go inwards and help someone re-write their story.

I believe if we keep avoiding our emotions and bodies physiological sensations they just get louder until we listen and step towards what it is they are telling us we need.

Make peace with your broken pieces
