Let’s talk about your sexual health and well-being. Let’s support you to dive into who you are lovingly and separate that from what others have told you about your identity(ies).
Our work together involves connecting to your body in deeply loving ways while moving away from social expectations, which generally amount to not being good enough. Through engagement with somatic awareness and relational practices, you can grow in co-creating brave, loving space with those around you.
This is the work of mental health now. It’s in our minds. It’s in and through our bodies. This is the work of truly deepening intimacy. The development of space for self impacts social wellness for all where connecting and bonding is practiced in expansive ways.
I ’m Natashia !
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Nationally Certified Sex Therapist, and doctoral student of Critical Sexualities Studies. I have over 30 years of experience working in sex therapy with expertise in sexual fluidity, variance in sexual desire, the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth, and postpartum), relationship counseling, and group work. My current research focuses on how intimacy-related issues can be generatively worked on in feminist-oriented process groups, impacting greater connection to life force energy-building capacity within diverse relationships. I am interested in working on difference as it is significantly honored, as opposed to shying away from it and sticking with similarity or sameness. It’s in relationship with others where our wounds or struggles initially arose, and it's through relationships that we can heal and feel our life force energy (Lorde, 1984).

What is Sex Therapy?
Affirming & exploring sexuality, self care, self realization + compassion.
Let’s talk about what isn’t normally talked about.
We will take time to get to know you in all of your uniqueness. We’ll acknowledge familial and systemic messages you have inherited. I will help you process your inner world to work towards health rather than shame regarding privileges you have and parts of yourself you want to work on exploring, building confidence and self care. This is my superpower.

“I first found Natashia after giving birth to my second child. She was phenomenal in helping me through postpartum depression and anxiety. As our work continued, Natashia consistently helped me wake up to the possibility that I could have a different relationship with my mind, body, and spirit. I didn't always have to be trapped by my own mind and my own reality. The way she practices invites me to come back to my body and my own experiences in every situation, and trust the wisdom and strength I find there. This then helps me show up as my best self in work, friend, and family life. I am a therapist and have also been in therapy for 12 years, and Natashia is the best therapist I have ever had.”
