With over 10 years of experience supporting children and youth with Autism and other neurodiversities, Natasha brings a wealth of knowledge, understanding, and practical experience to her counselling work. Her goal is to create a safe, attuned, and empowering environment where children and youth can explore their emotions, build skills, and grow in confidence and self-awareness.
Natasha’s background as a Behavioural Consultant allows her to collaborate effectively with families, schools, and multidisciplinary teams, creating individualized strategies that promote emotional regulation, social connection, and meaningful growth. This experience gives her a unique perspective in counselling, allowing her to understand each child’s strengths, challenges, and learning style while providing practical tools that extend beyond the therapy room.
Drawing from her strong foundation in child development and behavioural support, Natasha brings a calm, relational, and attuned presence to her counselling sessions. She understands that each child and youth has a unique nervous system, and she prioritizes creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. By focusing on relationship, co-regulation, and attunement, Natasha helps clients feel understood and validated as they explore their internal experiences.
Her approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, emphasizing safety, empowerment, and authentic expression as essential pathways for growth and healing. Natasha works collaboratively with children, youth, and caregivers, helping them build emotional awareness, communication skills, and confidence, while providing practical strategies that can be applied in daily life.
Natasha places a strong emphasis on collaboration with caregivers, recognizing that families play a critical role in the growth and development of children and youth. She provides practical tools, strategies, and guidance that support families beyond the counselling session, helping them foster emotional regulation, communication, and positive relationships at home and in school settings. By partnering with caregivers, Natasha ensures that the benefits of counselling extend into everyday life, creating a consistent and supportive environment for growth.
Her experience working with schools and multidisciplinary teams further strengthens her ability to coordinate support for children and youth, ensuring that interventions are aligned across home, school, and community environments. This holistic approach maximizes the effectiveness of therapy and empowers families to feel confident and supported in their role.
Natasha is passionate about helping children, youth, and families develop emotional awareness, build resilience, and enhance overall wellbeing. She is excited to be part of the team at Achieve Balance Counselling in Chilliwack and looks forward to walking alongside clients on their journey toward greater self-understanding, confidence, and connection.
