Natalie is a registered social worker with 10+ years of experience working with individuals, families, and children. With an extensive trauma background, she specializes in working with people who have experienced abuse, or who struggle with self-esteem, anger management, communication and conflict resolution in their relationships. The effects of trauma can be unpredictable and persistent, often intruding on our relationships with others, our perception of ourselves, and our overall sense of well-being. Connecting with the right therapist can help you to process, understand and heal from these experiences.

I work with both men and women who are aware of their issues, motivated towards personal, spiritual and relational growth and are willing to invest the time and effort it takes to reach their full potential. I treat couples who want the tools, transformative experiences and resources that create strong and fulfilling relationships. I work with individuals who are ready to take the next step in their self-discovery and who want to realize the fullness of who they can be at whatever age or stage of life they are at.

I work with people experiencing the struggles of being human in our modern world. People who know anxiety and alienation, and those grappling with grief of all kinds. Maybe you're cracking under the pressure of impossible societal expectations. Maybe you're navigating big changes, losses and overwhelm. Or maybe you've built relationships that no longer nourish you or maybe never did. I imagine that whatever brings you here, you're wanting wellness on your terms. I can support you in exploring new ways of being true to yourself, in a space where play, humour, and lightness are always welcome.

Psychodynamic therapy can give way to a new beginning in one’s daily life. It can help a person overcome anxiety emerging from their internalized conflicts, emotional deficits, traumas, or other challenges. Play therapy is a healing experience for a child and a way to express and mentally metabolize worries and emotional difficulties. It can help to change some of the characterological patterns of a child.

My name is Vanessa and I'm here to walk alongside you.
