"It's not what happens, it's how we handle it that makes the difference." ~ Natalie Matsche
I believe everything happens for a reason.
During the events in our lives, we come to points when emotions, thoughts, and feelings are overwhelming. We need additional support to make sense of things or just to find peace in what we are experiencing. I am here to provide that support for you.
I am passionate about what I do, and
I enjoy providing support to others.
Welcome!

My name is Natalie Matsche, I am California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#129380), DBA (doing business as) Seaside Life Services (SLS).
I am doing business as Seaside Life Services because my dream is to develop a network of services to support my local community and beyond.
I chose seaside for my love of the ocean. The ocean is a vast entity. Powerful and beautiful. Full of opportunity and lessons, much like life. Life services is simply that; services provided to support and better lives.
