About Naomi
Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m a licensed psychologist who specializes in evidence-based therapy for kids, teens, young adults, and parents.
Maybe you or your child is having trouble doing the stuff you care about most because you’re feeling sad, anxious, angry, or having a hard time getting along with people. You might be struggling to heal from trauma, manage complex health problems, or navigate neurodiversity in an unsupportive world. Or maybe you’re a caregiver who has repeated the same loop over and over with your child and things don’t seem to change.
It’s not your fault that you got stuck in the first place and it’s not your fault that nothing you tried has worked just yet. Let’s work together to find the evidence-based strategies that will help.
As a psychologist, I use strategies supported by science. I will start with getting to know you and your unique challenges and strengths. Next, we will set clear goals, learn specific skills, and take action to bring you closer to what matters most to you. The quickest path to change is to practice what we learn between sessions. Don’t worry! We’ll be careful to take small, manageable steps at the beginning.
To address the problems of young children (pre-school and younger elementary age), I prefer to work directly with parents. That is because changing the day-to-day reactions around a child is the best way to shape their behavior. With older children and teens, we will find a balance of one-to-one and family time based on your needs.
Many people see progress in 12-20 sessions, but others desire longer-term support. My hope is that we will build a toolkit of useful skills so you can feel confident in managing challenges and staying unstuck after graduating from our work together.
I look forward to hearing from you.

You may seem OK on the outside, but on the inside, your mind rarely slows down. There is constant mental noise: second-guessing yourself and others, constant “what ifs?”, fear of failure, or thoughts that feel intrusive and hard to dismiss. Anxiety can be subtle or overwhelming, but over time it begins to dictate choices, routines, and even your sense of self. Left unchecked, it becomes exhausting, convincing, and relentless. I specialize in treating anxiety, including OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we focus on changing your relationship with anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings. That might mean gradually addressing avoidance tendencies, reducing compulsions, building tolerance for uncertainty, or changing how you respond to intrusive thoughts. My approach is active, practical, and collaborative. We don’t just analyze feelings - we work with them directly. I also enjoy working with ADHD, especially when anxiety and executive functioning challenges overlap. When things always feel harder than they “should” be, we focus on reducing shame, building sustainable systems, and increasing consistency. Over time, you can learn to build real trust in your ability to handle what’s in front of you. My approach blends evidence-based treatment with warmth, humor, and a clear plan. Anxiety is part of being human, but with the right support, you can build the skills to live life on your terms. I offer free 20-minute phone consults for our initial introduction to each other. Appointment slots generally offered Monday-Thursday from 11:00 to 4:00.
