Naomi can help you identify and manage your emotions, recognize your strengths, and build a life that is healthy and joyful.

Naomi specializes in supporting people who identify as neuro-divergent, folks from the queer community, parents, and professional helpers (medical staff, teachers, etc). She supports young adults to navigate the ups and downs of life, helps parents to transmit the best of themselves to their children, and encourages queer people to live authentically in a heterocentric society.

Naomi is a yoga teacher and cycling enthusiast who is her best self when active and in nature. She strongly believes in the value of authentic community with families, friends, neighbours, and co-workers. She finds joy in expressing herself artistically, mastering new skills or hobbies, and curling up with a cuddly cat.

Q&A

How do you describe therapy?
Therapy is structured listening and support from a trained mental health professional. Therapy is for everybody, and it’s okay to go to therapy!
What does good mental health look like to you?
To me, mental health means living authentically through the ups and downs, allowing space for both joyful and difficult feelings, and staying balanced through it all.
What do you do to take care of your own mental health?
Spending time with trusted loved ones is an important way that I take care of my mental health. I also value grounding myself in nature and moving my body.
