Professional Bio

About Natasha

Born and raised on beautiful Vancouver Island, I have called Victoria home for more than 20 years.

Although I have travelled and worked in other provinces and countries, the Island and its natural beauty have always held a special place in my heart.

I completed my Master’s in Counselling at the University of Victoria and have worked in both private-practice and non-profit settings since 2016.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can be an important part of healing and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Perspective

How Natasha Works

I work from a holistic, trauma-informed, biopsychosocial and strengths-based perspective.

  • Holistic
  • Trauma-informed
  • Biopsychosocial
  • Strengths-based

I believe that with guidance, change can happen when people recognize their strengths. Together we can develop coping, communication, and conflict-resolution skills, achieve goals, and move toward balance.
