Life can sometimes throw us into periods of profound uncertainty, grief, or overwhelming strain—yet you don’t have to carry it alone. Rather than acting as a detached observer or handing you tools from a safe distance, I believe in being genuinely present with you in the hard places. I am willing to sit with the emotional weight of what you bring, serving as a steady, grounded anchor you can lean into. This comes from a deeply humanistic belief: that the clarity and strength you seek are already within you. By showing up with warmth, active curiosity, and process-based reflections, we will together reconnect with your own wisdom.
In my work with ADULTS navigating life transitions, identity, relationship struggles, or existential crisis across diverse backgrounds, I draw on existential-phenomenological principles to meet each person's reality exactly as it is—without distortion, rigid labels, or judgment. Together, we build the courage to look at your life clearly and embrace your freedom of choice, unearthing fresh perspectives that help you move forward with clarity, meaning, and intention.
In my work with YOUTH navigating varied emotional challenges and family dynamics, I integrate play, expressive art, parts work, and ACT, meeting young clients in their creative world to help them explore their internal experiences, build resilience, and develop a compassionate relationship with their feelings.
Hi, I'm Naomi

你好啊,我是 Naomi。我的治疗取向是人本存在主义。它关注关系、孤独、自我价值、安全感与自由选择。作为一位在不同文化中成长和生活过的女性,我经历过从营养师到心理咨询师的职业转向,也生活在跨文化、非典型的家庭结构中。这些经历让我对“人生并不一定只有一种正确解法”有着切身的理解,也让我更加关注那些我们不知不觉继承下来的人生脚本——关于成功、家庭、性别、关系,以及一个人“应该”成为什么样的人。因此探索这些脚本如何影响我们的自我认同,也是我的兴趣所在。
我的工作受到女性主义、多元文化和 LGBTQIA+ 友善视角的影响。我开放地尊重不同的身份认同、关系模式与生活选择,并且尤其愿意陪伴那些正在经历人生转折、与既有框架产生冲突,或开始重新思考“我想怎样生活”的来访。
同时作为一个青少年的母亲,我深知陪伴一个生命穿过风暴与迷茫时的那份牵挂、焦虑与无措;我也同样看到,在那些叛逆、沉默或情绪失控的表象之下,孩子们内心深处的挣扎、孤单,以及渴望被看见的强烈声音。在与儿童和青少年的工作中,我会以游戏、艺术表达、内在部分工作(Parts work) 与 ACT(接纳承诺疗法)为桥梁,走进他们的内在世界,陪伴他们识别那些难以言表的大情绪,接纳真实的自己,并建立起面对挑战的内在力量。
我也将家长视为重要的盟友——在保护孩子隐私与安全感的前提下,我会为你提供定期的沟通与引导,陪伴你一起读懂孩子行为背后的情绪语言,共同为你和孩子重塑有温度、有边界的深度连结。

Both. We see clients in-person at our San Jose office and via secure video throughout California.

We are currently out-of-network with most insurance plans. Some of our clinicians accept EAP such as Lyra Health.
For many common plans — including United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and Cigna — we can submit claims directly on your behalf, so you don't have to deal with superbills yourself. If your insurance isn't on that list, we'll provide a superbill you can submit for reimbursement. Many of our clients receive up to 80% back from their out-of-network benefits.
Not sure if your plan applies? Reach out and we'll help you figure it out.
