Natalie McAuliffe
Associate Clinical Social Worker

Sometimes we can feel trapped in our own minds. Sometimes life's stressors become too much to handle and start infiltrating our lives and stealing our joy and peace.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges. With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate, understanding, and professional approach to therapy. 

My practice is deeply rooted in trauma-informed care, acknowledging the pervasive impact of traumatic experiences on wellbeing. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel respected and heard. It is in this environment where people can work on their hang-ups and hurts to find healing. 

I strive to help people clarify and connect with their true values to empower people to make meaningful decisions that align with their values and resolve issues.
