With an extensive background working with youth in various settings, from schools to community mental health, Natasha has always been most passionate about working with this population. She is particularly fond of working with adolescents and encouraging them to discover their creativity, passions, and resilience as they begin their journey into adulthood. After majoring in English as an undergraduate at Loyola Marymount University, Natasha received her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School. In her work, she most often draws upon emotion-focused, solution-focused, and experiential modalities, especially art and animal-assisted therapy, and is certified by the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association as a Mental Health Professional. In her spare time, she enjoys all forms of art (especially ceramics), road trips, and spending quality time with her pets.
