She has a Masters of Social Work from the University of Calgary. She has worked with adults experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, relationship issues, grief/loss, ADHD, personality disorders, and emotional regulation difficulties. Additionally, she has extensive experience working with trauma in first responders.
Natalie is trained in advanced techniques such as mindfulness, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Experiencing a difficult time can be very isolating, but Natalie wants you to know that you are not alone. Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” While therapy can seem daunting and you may feel vulnerable, sharing your story can ease the burden. Natalie will help by being a witness to your pain and together, as a team, find ways to renew your sense of hope.
In her own time, Natalie enjoys spending time with family and friends, living an active lifestyle, and throwing the ball for her hazel eyed cockapoo named Eeyore. She is also a handler for a Certified Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Service Dog.
