I have significant clinical experience working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum, Incarcerated populations, ADHD, as an ally for LGBTQ+ populations, Inpatient facilities addressing Self-Harm and Suicidal Behaviors, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Psychosis, OCD, and Personality Disorders.
Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do, or think the way that you think? Or have you been feeling stuck in a feeling and want to make a change? I do my very best to create a safe space for my patients and make authentic observations about lifestyle, thinking patterns, relationship/attachment styles, and clinical symptoms so that you can understand yourself better. Sometimes starting therapy with a new clinician can be a challenging and/or intimidating process, and I try to be as realistic as possible. I also understand that no one is perfect, and I come from a person-centered non-judgmental approach to therapy.

There are, however, several areas in which I have especially deep expertise and passion: Recovery from Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Divorce, Loss and Grief, Empty Nest Syndrome, Anger Management, Boundary issues, Trauma, feelings of Overwhelm, PTSD, Retirement, Cancer, Personality Disorders, to name just a few.
Hi! My name is Naomi. With over 20 years in the field of psychotherapy, I bring the education, experience, and skills to help you through the issues you're facing. I treat people, not symptoms, by addressing the whole of you with mind and body interventions. After our first conversation, I will tell you if I'm not the best person to help you and suggest a referral if we don't "click". I do not work with any one specific group or symptom and would never want to limit my practice to one specialty so my profile may sound a little different.

I work with clients who may identify with having an emotionally immature or narcissistic caregiver, and as a result experience panic, anxiety, or depression.
Are you feeling isolated, or having difficulty connecting with others around you in a way that feels fulfilling and genuine? You may also feel like you're too much or not enough, and seek self-acceptance and freedom from judgement. You may also be an out-of-the-box thinker or a creative person who is struggling to feel accepted, loved, or trying to find your voice, your place, or your people in the world. You may be rethinking who and what you want in your life, including your family of origin. I can help you sort through what feels important to you.

I have experience working with adolescents, transitional age youth, adults and older adults dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, trauma, personality disorders, developmental disorders, and substance use as well as with those going through life transitions and struggling finding their way.
Whether you have been struggling with mental health problems most of your life or are experiencing some personal hardships and are looking for help, you have come to the right place. Be proud of yourself for recognizing that what's going on is not working for you and reaching out for support. The journey might not be easy but the goal is to help you have a life that you find meaningful and fulfilling.

As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), I focus my practice on clients who struggle with trauma, substance abuse, and personality disorders. I want to assist you with transforming your negative coping (substance abuse, self-harm, disordered eating, risky behaviors) into positive coping that will decrease your feelings of anxiety and detachment and increase your ability to sustain long-term relationships and employ self-love. I believe that many of our negative coping skills are rooted in a history of trauma, which requires careful consideration and a gentle, loving, experienced approach to process fully.

Recently, I've added a sub-speciality of helping those affected by Narcissistic Abuse at the hands of a person they have wholly trusted (a romantic partner, family member, former therapists with poor and/or exploitative boundaries, abusive cult/religious leaders).
Affordable and accessible therapy is a necessity. I have two main concentrations to my practice: 1) I work with those interested in a confidential therapeutic setting to resolve complex psychological states and feelings (such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, childhood, relationship difficulties, personal grief, fear, shame, worthlessness, and existential questions about meaning-in-life). 2) I work in a consultant capacity for individuals with prescribed short-term, career-minded professional goals (public speaking, presentations, social skills, deadlines, writer's block, and management strategies).

In addition, I have provided comprehensive services to adults and youth struggling with relational issues, Anxiety Disorders and Personality Disorders.
Psychotherapy provides a supportive environment in which a person can develop healthy coping skills and talk openly about aspects of life that may be causing distress. Facing one's struggles is not always an easy choice. Deciding to start therapy can be a positive step in the right direction to a healthier life. An environment that is empathetic and safe can help in symptom reduction.
