Her approach is deeply patient-centered, focused on understanding and addressing the full picture of a person’s health and lived experience.Natasha is a trauma-informed clinician who strives to create a safe, affirming space for all patients.

She understands the importance of respectful language, inclusive treatment practices, and body autonomy in fostering healing.Natasha meets each patient where they are, tailoring care to individual needs while honoring their unique identity and goals. When not at the clinic, Natasha enjoys gardening, experimenting with fermentation in the kitchen, crafting, and spending time with her partners and 2 dogs.
