Testimonials
"Natalie is a tremendous support, as I have been seeing her weekly through a challenging year. She has honed skills and therapeutic tools from a lifetime of working with people. Her prayer support and understanding of the healing process for the body is an added plus!"

"Natalie has been an exceptional therapist for me. Her ability to truly listen, offer perspective, and help me stay positive while learning to let go of what no longer serves me has made a meaningful difference in my life."

"When I first started therapy with Natalie, I was in one of the darkest places in my life- battling depression, anxiety, and thoughts I didn't know how to handle. From our first session, she gave me a sense of safety and hope that I haven't felt in years. She understood me in a way no one else had, and with love and care, she found an approach that no other therapist had been able to figure out - She spoke to who I am. I'm not 100% there yet, but because I chose her and trusted her, I believe in healing again. She isn't just passionate about her work; this is her calling, and I feel beyond blessed to have found her."

"My husband and I were at a frustrating point in our 30-year-old marriage. We love each other, but just couldn't get along. We sought help through the Medicare website and found Natalie. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her, as she is expertly helping us to navigate new ways to communicate and express ourselves differently. We are now recognizing the good in each other and working hard together in a positive way."

"I've been in therapy off and on for many years, yet working with Natalie has helped me in so many ways, starting with TRUST. I know she hears me and gets it! Her approach is unique and genuine. Very professional yet down to earth. I feel blessed to have found her on the Alma website as a Medicare provider.

" I have worked with Natalie for about 3 months. Since I had previously seen a PhD psychologist in the past, I initially wanted another PhD. However, after meeting with Natalie, I realized she had the skills to help me work through my grief, my fears about the future, and my sleep issues. In addition, she also addressed a new anxiety that came up. She is professional, kind, and she was willing to chat with me between appointments as needed too. She offered me practical advice that I could use to alleviate my anxiety and calm my thoughts. She is someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. I'm doing well now, and I know I can reach out to her anytime in the future as things arise."

"When is first met Natalie almost a year ago I was in a very dark space struggling with severe depression, anxiety, panic attacks & phobias. Natalie met me where I was at and walked me through some of the darkest days. Her gentle guidance has helped me through many medical phobias. I find her to be flexible, understanding and deeply compassionate. She offers practical advice and exercises for me to implement as I heal. It was important to me to have a Christian Counselor and that was why I initially chose her. I am so grateful I found just the right person at the right time in my life to be a trusted guide".

"My experience with having Natalie as a counselor has been so wonderful. She is just a great human, nice, caring, nonjudgmental, easy to talk to and sympathetic. When I first started with her practice I was in such a bad place. I felt like there wasn't anyone in the world worth talking to. Slowly, I began to trust her and my mental health journey and its really progressing for the better. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who needs a warm sympathetic therapist."

"I have been working with Natalie for almost a year now, and I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder. She has helped pull me out of a very dark space with no judgment. I really like how authentic a person she is, just very easy and comfortable to talk to. I have never felt judged by her, and that has helped me heal old wounds. I love how we communicate via Telehealth , video chat format. This is SO much better than getting in my car and having to go to an office! I also love that she is exclusively a Medicare provider."
