With extensive experience in helping patients recover from trauma and thrive, Natalie knows how to navigate the road to healing and is committed to guiding her patients on their journey to wellness. Her approach to Health Care combines a strong background in scientific academia, gathered during her medical studies at McMaster University, and her Masters in Psychology from Liverpool university.
I have worked with patients for more than 25 years. I enjoy helping people with trauma overcome their limitations and move from trauma in to post-traumatic growth. This is a path I have had to navigate personally and have done so successfully. My patients often express that I am able to understand their experiences. In addition, I work with Asperger patients, and understand this as my partner has Asperger's himself.
I am trained in: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion focused therapy (EFT), Emotionally focused couples therapy (EFCT), Somatic therapy, Modern Treatments for Personality Disorders, and Positive psychology. I am well know for my love of research, and proclivity to get training in new evidence based therapies.
Furthermore, I have been trained to identify common genetic variations known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that are clinically relevant and nutritionally actionable in the pursuit of optimal health for every patient.
