Please Note
Natasha says that therapy found her as much as she found therapy. She began her own healing journey in her early 20s and says that therapy changed her life. Becoming a therapist was a natural evolution for her. Natasha says that therapy is a sacred and intimate thing and her hope for her clients is that they learn how to own their value and step into their power.
My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…
- Feeling like an outsider; I’ve learned that what makes us weird is actually our superpower—and I promise yours is too.
- Growing up with emotionally immature parenting and the confusion and relational trauma this causes, and how it can be transformed.
- Reparenting the inner child by resolving childhood issues and improving intimacy, authenticity and realness.
- The harm of hyper individualism and codependence and the power of interdependence.
- The transformative power of emotionally secure relationships.
- Taking a human, relational approach to mental health—one that prioritizes you over trends.
- Anti-colonial, liberationist approaches to mental health that cultivate emotional and spiritual maturity and healing in community.
- Rejecting psychiatry and its methods of social control.
- Ditching mental health labels—unless they serve you. I care about what they mean to you, not just what they mean on paper.
- Bridging the personal and the political—honoring your healing while recognizing how sociocultural and family-of-origin oppression shapes emotional wounds.
- How mental and emotional struggles aren’t just biological—they’re deeply connected to oppressive family and sociocultural systems.
- Oppressive systems cause suffering, but we always have power and agency, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
My cultural or ancestral background is…
- Russian-Jewish. I was an immigrant kid twice over—first moving from Russia to Israel, then from Israel to Canada, all before age five.

During your free consultation, we'll go over...
- What’s bringing you to therapy, and what you’re hoping to change or understand
- What progress might look like for you, and how we’ll know therapy is working
- How we’ll navigate any concerns or dissatisfaction that may arise in our therapy relationship
- Anything you want to know about me
- Whether you feel comfortable moving forward — and if not, that’s completely okay. I’d be happy to refer you to someone else who might be a better fit. What matters most is that you find someone who truly works for you, so take your time to explore your options.
If we work together you can expect me to…
- Be human. I will do my very best to understand, support, and guide you, and I will make mistakes and let you down sometimes because mistakes and disappointments happen in all relationships.
- Create space for messiness and support you through the discomfort that can come up in therapy, knowing that's where some of the biggest breakthroughs happen. They give us a chance to practice healthier ways of communicating, connecting, and working through conflict, even when it feels uncomfortable.
- Notice and gently work with patterns that show up in our relationship, especially those shaped by trauma or emotional wounds that weren't properly acknowledged or healed.
- Help you feel truly seen, understood, and emotionally safe enough to take more risks in relationships and create the kind of life and deep, fulfilling connections your heart and spirit need, rather than getting stuck in the same old frustrating patterns.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
