Hi, I'm Naomi.
Life isn't black and white but many other shades and colors in between. As a child of immigrants, I recognize it can be hard to navigate these gray areas when your experiences do not fit neatly into one box. I provide creative, goal-oriented, and holistic psychotherapy that meets you where you are and helps you move where you want to go. My specialties include working with cultural issues (especially in Asian/Asian-American families), family conflicts, and complex trauma. I also support people in developing a stronger relationship with themselves and learning how to build a meaningful life outside of traditional expectations.
Therapy is a collaborative process between real people. I offer a safe place for you to explore, express, and experiment so that you can be more effective in your own life. We will use creative approaches that address you as a whole person, draw on your strengths, and consider the larger influences in your life (family, systems, culture, trauma) and where you fit in.
I use well-researched evidence-based treatments while also incorporating other sources of wisdom and your unique needs. My main treatment modalities include Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Art Therapy. I also incorporate somatic approaches to help you connect to your body and self as a whole.
I am passionate about destigmatizing mental health and making it accessible for all. I dream of a healthy, connected community in which people are kind to themselves and each other. Self-care is collective care, and we are all in it together.
