Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


Hi, I’m Natasha, a practicing therapist with over 18 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients through struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, ADHD, and family dynamics. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes.

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Clients often share that they value my ability to listen deeply, provide fresh perspectives, and offer tools they can use in daily life.

If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with nearly two decades of professional experience, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, clarity, and healing.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? When mental health symptoms begin affecting your work, relationships, sleep, or daily functioning, it can feel difficult to know where to turn. You don't have to face it alone.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of healthcare experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults throughout Washington. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and other mental health conditions through personalized medication management and supportive therapy.

My approach is collaborative, holistic, and centered on your unique needs and goals. I take the time to understand your experiences, concerns, and strengths so we can develop a treatment plan that helps you feel more balanced, focused, and in control of your life. I believe healing begins when people feel heard, respected, and supported.

I currently offer convenient telehealth appointments and strive to provide a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your concerns. Taking the first step toward better mental health can be challenging, but support is available. If you're ready to explore treatment options, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation.

Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.

I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.

I specialize in supporting women navigating complex experiences that often go misunderstood. This includes women who have experienced harm within spiritual or religious communities—whether that's spiritual abuse, religious trauma, or the complicated grief of leaving a faith tradition. I also work with women managing anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma.

If you've felt silenced, questioned your own reality, or struggled to trust yourself after difficult experiences, you're not alone. My practice is a place where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and healing is possible.
