Hi, I’m Natalie!
I was born and raised in South Florida, where I earned my Master’s Degree in Psychology and completed my training in Mental Health Counseling. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of populations, beginning in community mental health, expanding into group practice, and now serving clients in private practice. Each setting has shaped the way I show up for my clients: with humility, cultural awareness, and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity to heal and grow.
In 2020, I moved from Miami to the Jacksonville area. Although I expected the transition to be challenging, I quickly found that Jacksonville was just as diverse, welcoming, and full of life. While I do sometimes miss Miami’s rich culture and the daily rhythm of “cafecito,” Jacksonville has become a place I am grateful to call home.
I am fluent in English and Spanish, and proficient in American Sign Language, which allows me to meet clients where they are and honor the unique ways people communicate and connect. I have experience working with Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, OCD, Eating Disorders, PTSD, ADHD, and various forms of trauma.
At the heart of my work is this belief: therapy should feel safe, empowering, and human. It should be a space where you can be honest without judgment, explore without pressure, and discover new parts of yourself at your own pace. While healing can be hard work, I also believe it can include moments of laughter, creativity, and lightness. Growth doesn’t have to be heavy to be meaningful.
My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, understood, and genuinely cared for, because you deserve a space where your story is heard and your healing is prioritized. Whether you're navigating a specific challenge or seeking clarity in a difficult season of life, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based tools tailored to your needs.
You don’t have to do this alone. Therapy is a place to begin, and I’m honored to be part of your journey.
