Natalie is an intern for Journey while obtaining her masters in clinical mental health counseling at Eastern Illinois University.  Natalie primarily utilizes person centered therapy approach to counseling as she assist her clients in achieving their mental health goals. 

I view my work with clients as a collaborative relationship led by the client, as they know their life better than anyone else! I use a person-centered and strength’s-based approach with each client through a multicultural feminist lens. I will often utilize psychoeducation to help clients build their mental health “toybox” with skills in mindfulness, thought tracking and reframing, and creative expression for the feelings and experiences words just can’t express. I specialize in working with those who have experienced interpersonal and systemic trauma, as well as those who are exploring their gender, sexual, and romantic identities. I have a significant amount of training in play therapy when working with children, adolescents, and adults, including Sandtray therapy (my personal favorite!).  I am a neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and sex work affirming counselor who believes in the power of play, education, compassion, and acceptance
