Naomi is an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist and EMDR Certified Therapist who utilizes an integrative approach to therapy and believes that therapy should be tailored to the specific needs, learning styles, and preferences of her clients. She grounds her work in a relational-cultural, attachment-informed, and intersectional feminist lenses. These lenses help us to understand how sociocultural systems and early relational experiences shape hardships and how these systems and healthy adult relationships can create opportunities to heal, grow in connection with others, and build a stronger sense of identity. Naomi integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), polyvagal theory, and mindfulness practice to help her clients address their concerns. Naomi’s practice centers on helping people work through disconnection in their relationships with themselves and others. She is particularly skilled in addressing concerns related to sexual wellness, relational trauma, caregiver burnout, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. Naomi is queer-identified and proudly supports members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Naomi’s approach to therapy is relational, authentic, and strengths-based: she checks in with clients frequently on how therapy is going, helps identify, develop, and celebrate client strengths, provides a genuine and direct response to what a clients have shared in order to help them deepen their own self-insight, and acknowledges limitations of her expertise, providing other resources or referrals when needed. In her free time, Naomi seizes any opportunities she can to spend time in nature. She also finds joy in laughing as much as possible and cooking food with loved ones.
