Meet Naomi

My transformative journey began in 2008 after a life-altering snowboarding injury left me hospitalized with a fractured spine. This pivotal moment forced me to recalibrate everything and lear to a intense path of self-discovery. Alongside traditional therapy, I discovered the profound benefits of yoga and mindfulness. This ancient practice deepened my mind-body connection and expedited my healing process, ultimately transforming my perspective on healing and self-growth

Reconnect with Your Body and Emotions

Through somatic therapy, Naomi helps you tune into your body’s wisdom. Emotional pain often gets trapped in the body, showing up as physical tension or discomfort. Naomi works with you to identify and release these stored emotions, helping you feel more present, grounded, and connected.

Heal Trauma with EMDR

Trauma can keep you stuck in the past, replaying memories that feel impossible to escape. Naomi specializes in EMDR therapy, a highly effective approach to processing traumatic experiences. EMDR allows you to reprocess those painful memories in a way that brings resolution and peace, freeing you to live more fully in the present.

Revitalize Your Sex Life

Sexual concerns can feel isolating and deeply personal. Whether you’re dealing with sexual dysfunction, dissatisfaction, or relationship issues, Naomi provides compassionate and nonjudgmental sex therapy to help you navigate these challenges. Together, you can work to break down the barriers to intimacy and build a more fulfilling sexual connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body to address and heal emotional and psychological trauma. This approach recognizes that trauma can become stored in the body, leading to physical and emotional symptoms.

Somatic therapy can help you become more aware of bodily sensations, tensions, and physical responses that may be associated with past traumatic experiences. By gently exploring and releasing these physical sensations and patterns, you can work through unresolved trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, and achieve emotional healing and resilience.

Somatic therapy techniques can include various body-centered practices, such as breathwork, movement, guided imagery, and mindfulness exercises. The goal is to help you regain a sense of safety, release pent-up tension, and promote self-regulation of their nervous system, ultimately supporting their overall mental and emotional well-being.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a specialized evidence-based form of psychotherapy that is primarily used to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and certain psychological conditions.

The core premise of EMDR therapy is that traumatic experiences can get “stuck” in the brain, causing distressing symptoms and emotional suffering. EMDR aims to help individuals reprocess these traumatic memories, making them less distressing and more integrated into their overall life narrative.

Confidentiality is the bedrock of the relationship between a client and therapist. Successful therapy requires a safe environment for you to feel comfortable opening up in order to address the underlying issues you are facing. Anything discussed during our session is not shared with anyone outside what is outlined in my Informed Consent, which all clients are required to agree to and sign before starting therapy. There may be times when you want me to share information with someone else, such as your physician. I can only share information with others with your consent, which requires you to sign a release of information.

State law and professional ethics require me to maintain confidentiality about what we discuss, except in a few specific instances:
If there is any suspected abuse or neglect of children, elders, or dependent adults, which may require a report to the appropriate protective services agency and/or law enforcement.
If you are in immediate danger of seriously harming yourself or someone else.

Yes! Online therapy (referred to as “teletherapy”) has been heavily researched and studies show that it is just as effective as in-person therapy. We still get to see each other and personally connect; just over video. There are also unique benefits to online therapy, many of which my clients have told me they appreciate, such as not having to deal with traffic or parking, not having additional commute time, more flexibility with scheduling, and being able to have sessions wherever is most convenient for them.

If you are wondering whether online therapy is a good fit for you, let’s schedule a free 15-minute consultation and you can decide for yourself. Many people are pleasantly surprised at how much they prefer it to in-person therapy.

Naomi can only work with clients that are physically located in California at the time of any session.

Relational therapy (2 or more people) is $200 for 60-minute sessions
