Hi, I’m Nathalie— a licensed marriage and family therapist and doctoral candidate. I know what it’s like when life just…feels like too much. Expectations build, emotions get heavy, and suddenly you’re carrying more than you want to and no one has really noticed.

As a queer therapist, I know about the assumptions, the stares, and the quiet pressure to explain or perform. I hold space for clients who are figuring out who they are — queer or not — whether that means exploring identity, unlearning family narratives, shifting values, or just trying to live more honestly.

I especially love working with men and people who are navigating the tension between who they’ve been taught to be and who they actually are. That might look like questioning roles, breaking generational patterns, or learning how to show up more fully in your relationships.

I take a systemic approach, so what does that mean? Essentially I consider the full context of your life: family, relationships, culture, emotions, and how those layers intersect.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ adults, men, and families who are navigating identity, connection, and relationship patterns that feel hard to shift. We’ll explore what’s been shaping your experience and build something new together.

My style is laid-back, curious, and honest. Therapy with me is a mix of relection, humor, challenge, and care. I’m not here to give you homework you’ll never do. I’m here to help you hear yourself more clearly and move through stuckness with intention.

I’m also a doctoral researcher studying what it means to be a therapist in the room — how we sit with big emotions, manage internal reactions, and stay present.

Outside the therapy room, I’m usually reading historical fiction, catching up with my people, planning my next getaway, or doom scrolling instead of sleeping (we’re all working on something, right?).
