What Natori says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in Connecticut, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients manage stress, anxiety, family dynamics, and personal growth challenges. I'm particularly passionate about empowering individuals to develop stronger coping mechanisms, improve self-esteem, and effectively manage emotional responses like anger.

My therapeutic style is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. I believe in meeting each person exactly where they are, honoring their unique journey, and providing tailored guidance that respects their individual strengths and goals.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work closely with clients to build resilience, enhance emotional intelligence, and cultivate healthier relationship patterns. Whether you're experiencing life transitions, interpersonal challenges, or seeking personal development, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

03 · How Natori works

The 4 approaches Natori lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Natori lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Natori's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Natori runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Natori practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Natori's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Natori at this point.

2. Naming Natori specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Natori is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Natori.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Natori's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Natori. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
