Welcome!
I am Natasha and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I am a graduate of Yorkville University with a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology.
I work with teens and adults who are being challenged in various areas of life. My approach is collaborative and person-centered, but I also draw from other modalities such as psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. I will tailor my approach to you as I recognize that each individual who walks through my door is unique and should be treated as such.
I will use a collaborative approach with you to determine your therapeutic goals and areas of focus. This also means that I trust you are the expert on your own life, and I recognize my role is to help facilitate a better understanding of yourself. I will offer my support, presence, and reflections of what I hear about you or see within you, which you may not be consciously aware of. I offer a safe space for you to share what you are going through and a non-judgmental ear to listen to the details of your experience. I am also here to shed light on areas you may not be consciously aware of, highlight patterns that may be stemming from earlier experiences, and
emphasize your strengths.
Ultimately, my hope is that we can work together towards fostering a deep understanding of yourself for you to live a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.
Every story finds its beginning amidst the ongoing narrative of life, where our realities are shaped by our diverse experiences. Our upbringing, relationships, work, and education not only shape who we are but also influence the individuals we evolve into. Central to our understanding are the memories and moments of our childhood, serving as the foundation upon which our realities are built and providing us with the lens through which we perceive the world. Furthermore, our cultural background, early attachments, and environment contribute to refining and fortifying this lens, nurturing resilience, or fostering vulnerability. Our lives are journeys that take us along different paths and sometimes those journeys are lonely. We may be faced with some hardship or some complex situations, and at times challenging experiences. When we feel stuck, alone, disengaged, misunderstood or invisible, therapy becomes a powerful process that allows us to gain insight, see where and why we are getting stuck and find solutions that help us live a healthy, meaningful, and fulfilled life. During that process, everyone deserves to feel safe, loved, heard, seen…
As I meet you at this moment in your journey, my aim is to foster an empathetic, open, warm, and accepting environment. Drawing from different therapeutic methodologies, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered approaches, and solution-focused interventions, I endeavor to provide a holistic framework for growth and healing. We are inherently social beings, thriving on connections that enrich our experiences and inform our understanding of self.
Guided by the theory of family systems and attachments approach, I am committed to exploring life’s challenges through a multidimensional lens and understanding interplay of biological, psychological, and social elements. It is a privilege to accompany you on this journey of self-
discovery and empowerment.
