Preferred Name: Natasha
About Me
My decision to become a therapist was informed by many things, including my life journey of navigating my own healing, and an early and ongoing love of exploring the ways in which we understand our human experience through the stories we tell. I have lived experience with many of the issues I work with, including family of origin abuse and estrangement, attachment trauma, complex ptsd, religious abuse, chronic illness, queer identity, and living with a neurodiverse brain and highly sensitive internal system. In the rest of my life I enjoy spending time in nature, being with my dogs (and cat), creating art, growing plants, reading and listening to endless books, loving animals and other humans, exploring the world around me, and challenging myself to live in growth and curiosity. I strive to embody creativity, dedication, and passion in both my daily life and my work as a therapist.
Education & Experience
I completed a Masters in Community Counseling from Lewis & Clark Graduate School in 2013. I have worked in the mental health field since 2009, and have worked with adults, adolescents, children, and families in residential, correctional, and community mental health settings. I have provided crisis intervention, individual counseling, and group therapy to clients from a wide variety of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I work primarily from an integrated trauma-informed, narrative, anti-oppressive, feminist framework. I also include EMDR, creative and ecotherapies, interpersonal neurobiology, and mindfulness-based approaches in my work with clients.
