Nathalie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor – Temporary (LMHC-T) with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand View University. Before becoming a therapist, she spent years working as a preschool teacher and childcare provider – an experience that helped her develop a deep understanding of how children think, feel, and communicate. Nathalie completed her clinical internship at Resilient Parts, where she developed her skills in play therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). She works with children and teens ages 4–18 as well as adults who are curious about their own internal world and want to develop a deeper understanding of their internal system. Nathalie creates a warm, safe, and creative space where her clients can express what words sometimes can’t, and learn to understand themselves in a new way.
