Natasha has been a social worker for the past 22 years. She is a licensed clinical social worker serving clients in private practice. Natasha understands that when clients ask for support they are often feeling very vulnerable. Her focus is to provide a safe space where clients can come as they are and bring their concerns so that with God’s guidance they might work through issues clients want to address together. She finds it rewarding to help clients reach a more full life that God intends for us to experience. Natasha considers it a privilege when clients are able to trust and allow her to walk alongside them through the challenges, but also celebrate their successes.

Natasha began her social work career working extensively in three area rehab and long-term homes. She served residents and families, helping them work through the rehabilitation processes, post-rehab placement, adjusting to the difficult decision of long-term permanent placement, and giving them support with the end-of-life process and grief work. It can be hard enough to manage the health issues that senior adults experience. These issues are often complicated by life transitions they have to make simultaneously. Natasha can help you navigate these life transitions and offer information on supportive services that exist to provide assistance during these times.

Before Natasha entered into a private counseling practice, she worked for seven years at Bethany Christian Services. She has worked with a diverse client population. Her specialties include: depression, anxiety, self esteem, cutting, suicidal ideation, end-of-life work, grief work, premarital and marital therapy, post-divorce recovery, and abuse.

Natasha graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. She is a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan and is a member of the National Association of Social Work of Michigan.
