About Natalie

Hi my name is Natalie! I am in my second year of graduate school at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology earning my MA clinical psychology and my LMFT. I have worked in childcare since I was 14 working as a surf instructor and continued my work in childcare as a full time nanny during my undergraduate experience in Santa Barbara, while attending UC Santa Barbara, earning my BA in sociology. I was the captain of my research team which focused on developmental psychology and promoting pro-social relationships among elementary school children. Basically meaning my team helped with problem solving and conflict resolution among the kids! I have always loved working with children and tend to have just as much fun as they do playing and staying creative. I love arts and crafts and staying active! With my experience in childcare I look to make parents lives easier and maintain an optimistic attitude while doing it!
