About Natalie
She has 13 years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) credentials. Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and a Master of Business Administration from James Madison University. Earlier work in an outpatient behavioral health clinic in Chicago gave her experience with both individual and group therapy for a wide variety of concerns.
Natalie combines practical techniques with a focus on personal meaning and values. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Motivational Interviewing informs her work with people ready to make changes related to addiction, career, or health habits.
Clients can expect clear goals, straightforward feedback, and tools they can use between sessions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, abandonment concerns, and caregiving stress when these come up. Natalie also supports people coping with serious illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the effects of trauma or abuse.
She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, users should confirm current session options and scheduling details to match their needs.
How Natalie’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. Natalie listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping them name goals and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches straightforward tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and build momentum for decisions about addiction, career moves, or health habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Natalie will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and how quickly they want change. She then recommends methods and adjusts them as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and useful.
