Currently the Co-Executive Director of Art Omi Pavilions—a new cultural destination in Chatham, New York—Natalie leads the development of an innovative arts center that will showcase legacy exhibitions in architecturally distinct pavilions across a 190-acre hilltop site. Her curatorial career has long reflected a desire to explore the human condition through artistic expression. She has been curating art for nearly two decades, organizing international, site-specific installations in Montreal and Anguilla, and co-curated the West 10th Window, a rotating exhibition space in NYC’s West Village, where she worked with contemporary artists including Doreen Garner, Damien Davis, Marilyn Minter, Pamela Council, Cristina Camacho, and Blue Curry. Natalie currently serves on the Board of Trustees at Art Omi and was previously a juror for its international Visual Arts Residency Program. She studied Art History and Practice at Williams College and began her career as a Curatorial Intern at the Williams College Museum of Art.

Before turning her focus to psychotherapy and coaching, Natalie spent 13 years in corporate real estate investment and development, where she served as a Chief of Staff, asset manager, DEI strategist, and senior leader. In that space, she championed systemic change by founding mentorship and equity programs, leading diversity and inclusion initiatives, and advocating for greater access and justice in the workplace. Her ability to navigate complex systems while centering empathy and integrity continues to inform her leadership style and therapeutic practice.

As a licensed psychotherapist and coach, Natalie partners with individuals to help them create meaningful change in their lives, heal from trauma, and move toward a more empowered and authentic future. Natalie’s therapeutic and coaching approach is rooted in creating a safe, affirming space for exploration and transformation. Combining compassion, authenticity, and empathy, she uses a strengths-based framework to honor the inherent dignity and value of every client. Her psychotherapy practice integrates various modalities—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, somatic awareness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness—and is deeply informed by attachment theory. She approaches therapy with a trauma-informed lens, prioritizing safety, empowerment, and trust. Her practice is grounded in cultural humility and responsiveness, ensuring that clients’ unique identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences are respected and centered in their work together. By fostering an environment of respect and curiosity, Natalie works to create a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their personal narratives within the context of their culture and values. Across her clinical work, Natalie carries forward her commitment to social justice by helping clients navigate the personal within the political, building tools for both individual well-being and collective liberation.

Natalie’s advocacy extends into her writing, where she addresses racial and economic justice, mental health, and structural inequity. Her op-eds have been featured in Forbes, the New York Daily News, and the USA Today network, including a widely shared essay in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. As a writer and thought leader, she uses the written word as a tool for public reflection, accountability, and social change—offering critical perspectives that help move us toward a more just and equitable world.

She earned her Master of Social Work from NYU’s Silver School of Social Work and her undergraduate degree from Williams College, where she also studied at College Year in Athens in Greece. Now based on Maui with her beloved dog, Franklin, Natalie continues to live and work at the intersections of art, healing, and justice—uplifting individuals, transforming systems, and imagining more liberated futures.
