THERAPY IN ORANGE COUNTY & ACROSS CA, MA, & OH
You’ve spent so long trying to be who everyone else needed.
Let’s find you again.
Therapy for adults struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, and relationship concerns
You’re exhausted from overthinking, overgiving, and overfunctioning.
-
From the outside, it looks like you’ve got this whole adulting thing down- steady job, reliable friend, supportive family member. But inside, it feels loud, messy, and lonely. You don’t feel like the version of yourself everyone else sees.
Sometimes you’re on autopilot. Other times, stuck in a loop you can’t escape.
-
You notice how everyone else feels and have a sense of their needs. Yet your own needs often go unnoticed, even by you.
You long to feel close to others, but question whether they can meet you emotionally. You question if you’re too much or not good enough.
You find yourself giving more than you have, then wondering why you're so tired, so resentful, and so alone in it all.
-
Whenever you try to share your needs or emotions, guilt creeps in. Even eating- something you know you need to live- leaves you feeling ashamed or wanting to hide.
Your relationship with food feels tangled in a web of rules and guilt. Eating is followed by self-doubt and shame, shoulds and shouldn’t haves.
Your body feels like something to control; not a place you can feel at home in.
Somewhere inside, you know this way of living isn’t sustainable.
You’re ready to step out of the storm of internal chaos into steadier ground where calm, connection, and self-trust can feel possible again.
HI, I’M NATALIA!
I work with adults who feel things deeply.
People who give a lot, think a lot, and often feel disconnected from their own needs in the process.
I believe the answers you’re looking for are already within you—woven through your emotions, your body, and your story. Therapy with me is about getting to know yourself on a deeper level. And returning to yourself, not becoming someone else.
My style is warm, relational, and attuned. I’ll follow your lead while also offering honest reflection and gentle challenge when it serves your healing. I’m fully invested in helping you feel more connected, grounded, and whole.

-
Anxiety can be all consuming- taking over your mind, body, and relationships. It’s hard to feel present and connected in your life when anxiety is in charge.
Together, we’ll explore ways anxiety impacts your life and establish a plan to get relief.

-
Relationships, connection, and community are so essential for our survival as humans. It’s no wonder that when relationships feel disconnected, strained, unresolved, it takes a toll.
Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that feel hurt, unseen, longing for connection- and we’ll explore how to bridge that needs- gap and have more fulfilling relationships.

Support for adults identifying as BIPoC or multiracial.
I work with many BIPoC clients and identify as BIPoC and multiracial myself.
Shared experiences connect. Representation in the therapy room can be powerful.
Sometimes there’s solace in knowing that the person across from you can just get it with a sigh, a nod, a side eye.
While all this can be true, I will also acknowledge that the specificity of our experiences are unique to us.
So I’ll never assume and I want to hear about your unique experiences.
Simple steps for meaningful change.
