About Me
Hi, I'm Natali, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Lodi, California. For more than 15 years, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life's most meaningful and challenging seasons. Those years have shaped not only my clinical experience but also my passion for helping women navigate the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, anxiety, trauma, and other major life transitions.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, knowing you'll be met with compassion, curiosity, and practical support. Together, we'll work to better understand what you're experiencing, build on your strengths, and help you move toward the life you want to live.

My Areas of Clinical Focus
Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of life experiences and mental health concerns. Those years of clinical experience have helped shape the work I'm most passionate about today. While every person's story is unique, my practice now focuses on four areas where I've developed specialized training, experience, and a deep commitment to supporting women through life's most meaningful transitions.
Perinatal, Pregnancy, & Postpartum Therapy
As both a therapist and a mom, I understand that pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the transition into motherhood can be both meaningful and overwhelming. With specialized training in perinatal and postpartum mental health, I support women navigating pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, birth trauma, infertility, miscarriage, and the emotional adjustments that often come with welcoming a new baby.
Perimenopause & Menopause Therapy
Helping women navigate anxiety, mood changes, brain fog, emotional overwhelm, and other mental health challenges during perimenopause and menopause through personalized therapy in Lodi and virtually throughout California.
Therapy for First Responders, Veterans & Military Families
Whether you're serving as a first responder or veteran, or supporting a spouse or loved one who serves, the emotional weight of that role can be difficult to carry alone. I provide trauma-informed therapy to help women navigate chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and the unique demands that often accompany a life of service.
Anxiety & Life Transitions
Anxiety often shows up during life's biggest transitions, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of yourself. Together, we'll explore what's contributing to your anxiety while building practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and like yourself again.
How I Approach Therapy
I draw from evidence-based approaches to provide tools and strategies that fit your unique needs. My goal is to meet you where you are, offering practical techniques and gentle guidance that support both immediate relief and long-term growth.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy): helps people embrace their thoughts and take action based on their values
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): Understand and reframe unhelpful thought patterns
Motivational Interviewing: Empowering you to make changes at your own pace
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Cultivate calm, clarity, and self-compassion
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): a quick and effective therapy that uses eye movements and visualization to help people let go of past trauma and current stressors.
Let's Take the Next Step Together
Finding the right therapist is an important decision, and I know reaching out can feel like the hardest part. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, perimenopause, anxiety, or another significant life transition, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
