Natalie favela
Natalie has a great passion for helping individuals experience contentment with life and fulfillment in relationships. Having grown up in an abusive home environment, she was eventually driven to leave home as a teen. This caused an array of maladjustments that eventually led her to surrender her life to God and seek out clinical care. Natalie relishes the opportunity to sit with others who are trying to heal from past experiences with family, find meaning in their present life through faith integration, and build a healthy emotional and mental foundation for life.
Natalie has spent the last several years working with married couples and young adults trying to find connection and purpose through her ministry work at her church, Prepare and Enrich Training, SYMBIS Facilitator Training, and Gottman Clinical seminars. She seeks to empathetically work with those in need of hope as they heal from past trauma and expectantly build a life of faith, joy and peace. When she is not enjoying time with friends and family, you can find Natalie with her nose in a book or signing up for another half marathon.
