Verified background check
I draw on my training as a therapist, behavioral scientist, mindfulness teacher and coach in supporting clients to make meaningful change. I help people live out their values, improve their health and functioning, cultivate resilience and deepen their sense of meaning, purpose and wellbeing. I work with a diverse range of clients, including adolescents and adults at all stages of life. I specialize in: - Supporting high achievers, including professionals and executives, to find greater balance, meaning, and improve performance and overall functioning. - Therapy for women, supporting adult and adolescent women on issues ranging from body image, disordered eating, fertility, pre-and post natal challenges, parenting and identity issues. - Behavioral health, supporting people through weight loss and maintenance, body image struggles, disordered eating and emotional eating. I support clients in building effective skills to regulate their emotions and overcome obstacles, and draw on evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and mindfulness practices. My background includes training as a coach, psychotherapist, psychoeducator and behavioral scientist. I have training in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for weight management, amongst other approaches. I teach mindfulness-based courses including Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), Mindful self compassion (MSC), Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), and Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP).

Get to Know Naomi
I love to see people grow and bring to life the possibilities they dream for themselves.
I spent over 10 years studying everything I could about human behavior. I have masters degrees in applied positive psychology, bioethics, nutrition and applied physiology, social work and a PhD in Behavioral nutrition. In addition to receiving additional training in various therapeutic approaches (including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and emotion-focused therapy (EFT), I have also received training in teaching various mindfulness practices, including MBSR, MSC, MBCT and MBRP.
My work is deeply informed by Buddhist psychology and practices, as well as by existential philosophy and approaches.
