Welcome!

I’m Natalie, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Art Therapist (ATR) with eight years experience in the field.

Steady Heart grew from a vision of guiding others from a heart-centered place—one that emphasizes intentional connection. I believe we all deserve reciprocal relationships where we feel valued and seen as we want to be. 

My approach in session is warm, direct, and playful. Common goals my clients work toward include understanding their neurodivergent traits, developing body awareness, increasing trust in themselves, and breaking family trauma cycles.

Art Therapy Approach

Art therapy can be especially helpful for adults who feel creatively blocked, teens who are more resistant to therapy, and to engage children fully. I integrate creative interventions when folks find themselves in familiar, stuck places with verbal discussion of their problems. Artmaking offers another way to access insight and no artistic skill is required—just a willingness to explore alongside me.
