Fresno, CA - Accepting clients in CA
As someone who has struggled with self-esteem and identity issues, I can help you re-frame self-defeating thoughts, resolve unconscious inner conflicts, and learn to value and trust your own experience. Therapy can help you feel more authentic, alive, and confident. I don't have the answers for anyone. What I might be able to help with are the questions you may have if you experience anxiety, depressed mood, conflict in your relationship, or if you find feeling good about yourself to be a challenge you can't quite resolve on your own. It takes courage to ask for help. No one really likes feeling vulnerable, including me. But being vulnerable with another person, and with ourselves, is a proven way to repair unhealed wounds and repair the damage life causes.

Irvine, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hi! My name is Naomi!
With over 25 years in the field of psychotherapy, I bring the education, experience, and skills to help you through the issues you're facing. With a vast array of modalities and techniques, I am able to guide you towards health and healing. Although my primary method of therapy is talk therapy, I often assign physical, creative, and educational homework to help advance your progress.
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. There are, however, several areas in which I have especially deep expertise and passion: Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, Loss and Grief, Recovery from Addiction, Empty Nest Syndrome, Anger Management, Boundary issues, Trauma, Feelings of Overwhelm, PTSD, Cancer, Aspergers, and Personality Disorders, to name a few.
You will find me deeply caring, fully engaged, compassionate, insightful, and an active listener. You will get feedback in every session, and occasionally, I will suggest "homework" to reinforce lessons learned in the sessions. Using a mind-body approach, I am primarily a talk therapist, but additionally integrate techniques that reduce stress "from the bottom up," incorporating DBT (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy) and Polyvagal Exercises. I also practice what I preach and have built a full life with friends and family, gardening, reading, outdoor anything, dance, yoga, swimming, needlepoint, scrapbooking, and hiking.
Let's get you back on track, process issues from your past, update the internal narrative, and find a way for you to feel more at peace with yourself, your life and your relationships.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult task; actually calling one is even harder. When I am struggling with something I find myself irritable, directionless, and without energy (or too much nervous energy) – a difficult time to build new relationships. It is my hope that stepping into my office might feel like finding an oasis; a welcoming place where you can put down your burdens, relax, and see what you can unpack or unload. I engage with people with acceptance and curiosity and find strengths and inspiration in conversations. I am constantly amazed by people’s creativity, perspective, and desire to connect in personal ways. I see that solutions or inspiration often come through a playfulness that we often forget that we have. Happiness and playfulness are skills that we need to continue to practice.

Then I help people find ways to stop what is bothering them before it even starts. That can look like setting a routine that helps reduce anxiety, processing past trauma, surrounding yourself with people that make you feel great, or figuring out what gives your life meaning and helping you do that.

Are you struggling with the symptoms post-partum, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, challenges with parenting?
With over 17 years of experience utilizing evidence-based therapies, I am confident in personalizing my approach to cater to your needs and facilitate your healing process.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere where clients can address any obstacles related to anxiety, depression, women's issues, or emotional exhaustion. My primary focus is to help clients establish healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, which can significantly improve their quality of life.
Additionally, I am experienced with the emotional, mental, and behavioral conditions that affect children, who need to be treated differently from adults due to cognitive levels and maturity. Because of this, I used various types of therapy techniques based on your child's age and unique situation. These therapies can help your child develop coping skills, improve social interactions, and better manage emotions.
Depending on your child's age and needs, I may work directly with you (or guardians) to enhance parenting skills or effectively address your child's behaviors.
By seeking counseling, you can work towards personal growth and development in any aspect of your life that you wish to improve. If you are ready to talk and start your journey towards a healthier you, I am here to support you every step of the way.

San Diego, CA - Accepting clients in CA
I started helping those who are seeking to up-level their experiences and shine as their true and authentic selves in 2019. My journey first started in residential treatment facilities where I held space for those in early recovery from substance use disorders. This population ranged from men's only, women's only and LGBTQ+ Many of these individuals also struggled with anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. I have also had the opportunity to work with adolescents at risk of sex trafficking. This work is extremely rewarding as the clients are at an age where they are most influential and willing.
I am a deeply spiritual person and practice in the study of yoga and meditation and participate in somatic healings such as Kundalini Light Intergration (KALI) and breathworks. I am also a level two Reiki practitioner (training to become a master) and a certified personal trainer. When I am not holding space for healing, I enjoy being in the outdoors, surfing, climbing, reading and cooking nutritious and fun to eat meals. I hope to continue the journey of providing a safe space for individuals where healing can occur for years to come.
I offer sessions both early in the morning (5am - 7am) and later in the evening (6pm - 9pm) to accommodate those who work nine to five or those who just prefer early morning or evening therapy sessions.

If you’re reading this, it means you exist. Based on your religion, culture, or general belief, you may have a meaning for existence. However, no matter your meaning, one thing is clear - existence can be very challenging for us. There are many ways to cope with the challenges of existing, resulting in different experiences. Therapy is just one way to manage the challenges.
Therapy
There are many ways to approach therapy. One way I like to approach it is to view an individual as a system. In therapy then, we check the system to see what’s working well, what’s neutral, and what’s not going well. In doing this, the goal is to get an individual to admit the reality of things, not what the individual wants or hopes but the present true reality.
It's important to identify and understand the reality of an individual because often there are significant fears and or unstable belief in the individual’s ability to manage challenges and get desired results.
Lack of control – one of the foundational fears for us is the lack of control we seem to have over ourselves and others. How does one cope with seemingly so little control - from how one comes into existence to how will my friend react if I said no.
Whether you’re a veteran in going to therapy or trying it for the first time, we will work as a team to see if we can get you to be how you want to be given the infinite things that are not in your control.
