Hi there, I'm Naomi!

Come as you are! Your truth, whatever that may be, has a place in therapy. Growth occurs when we confront our personal experiences and how they have impacted us. I want to support you in exploring and realizing the full potential of your life while building practical tools to promote self-healing and joy.

My focus

I am experienced in working with a variety of populations and ages. I enjoy working with adolescents, women of color, those in life transitions, parents, and caretakers.

My approach

Every emotion is connected to a thought, and those thoughts produce action. I believe that we can begin to heal our minds from pain and distress when we start to notice how our thoughts influence the decisions we make every day.

My communication style

My style is warm, non-judgemental, and compassionate. I prioritize building comfort in the therapeutic relationship so I can act as a partner in supporting you in reaching your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector, managing programs focused on youth, women's empowerment, and racial justice. I am a proud mother and have worked as a therapist in the following settings: school, hospital, and family practice.

Our first session

In our first session, we will work to get to know each other and build a foundation of emotional safety and trust. I am open to sharing my background or answering any questions you may have about treatment.
