Professional Bio

How Natasha Came to This Work

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can be an important part of meaningful change. Building trust through compassion, respect, kindness, and non-judgment is at the heart of how I approach counselling.

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

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and strengths-based. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to meet each person where they are, while creating a supportive space to explore difficult experiences, relationships, emotions, and patterns.

Throughout my professional experience, I have supported adults, teens, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other difficult experiences.

I believe that when people are supported in recognizing their strengths, meaningful change becomes possible. Together, we can build practical coping and communication skills while working toward greater balance and well-being.
