Thank you for your interest in my practice! I'm Natasha, a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sport Social Worker specializing in the unique mental health needs of student and professional athletes.

With 15 years of clinical experience across diverse settings, I've developed a specialized approach to helping athletes overcome mental barriers and optimize performance. My expertise includes addressing the specific pressures faced by athletes at all levels of competition.

I've created a boutique style practice that seamlessly integrates traditional therapy with creative expression and athletic performance optimization. My practice is uniquely positioned to serve athletes by:

• Developing mental conditioning programs tailored to competitive environments

• Helping athletes reframe challenges through innovative perspectives

• Providing effective strategies to overcome performance barriers

• Creating a safe space where athletes can address both sport-specific and life stressors

Whether you're an athlete navigating academic pressures or an athlete facing career transitions, my approach combines evidence-based therapy with creative problem-solving to help you achieve peak mental wellness.

L.A.C.E. represents my distinctive philosophy—creating a therapeutic catalyst that fuses mental health education, advocacy, empowerment, therapy, artistic expression, and creative problem-solving into a comprehensive approach tailored to athletes' unique needs.

In your first session, expect a warm, judgment-free environment where we'll discuss your therapeutic needs and the mental challenges you're facing. I create a comfortable space that balances professional guidance with genuine connection, allowing you to share openly. We'll establish clear, personalized goals that address both your daily needs and overall wellbeing, while introducing creative expression techniques unique to the practice.
