Hi, I’m Natalye—though you’re welcome to call me Nat, whichever feels more comfortable for you.

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and bring over a decade of experience in the mental health field. My work has spanned a wide range of populations, diagnoses, and settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, behavioral issues, and eating disorders. My clinical experience includes in-home services, inpatient hospitalization, residential care, and outpatient treatment.

With an empathic approach and dynamic disposition, I’m deeply committed to building strong, trusting, and positive relationships with my clients and their support systems. I believe that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces—and I’m proud to walk alongside my clients in that journey.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive? Maybe you’re navigating the frustrating cycle of procrastination, intense anxiety about falling behind, and the sudden rage or emotional outbursts that follow. You might feel misunderstood, labeled "lazy" or "difficult," when in reality, you are holding it together with incredible effort. If you are tired of the anxiety-depression loop, you are in the right place. I help adolescents and adults move from feeling overwhelmed and reactive to empowered and focused.
