Prior to stepping into the world of teletherapy, Natasha has worked in many different clinical settings including inpatient and residential Eating Disorder treatment programs, adjustment counseling for adults or their partners facing end-stage medical diagnoses, in PTSD and adjustment counseling for veterans on Skid Row, and lastly in private practice working with teenagers and young adults.

She is specialized in helping adults and adolescents through stress such as life changes, relationship problems, depression, trauma, attachment trauma, PTSD, and eating disorders. Her counseling experience includes helping individuals through the complex emotions that come from relationships, break-ups, and divorce. She has particular expertise in working with teens and adults from “broken” homes.
