About
Naomi (pronounced “nah-o-mee”) is a non-disabled, racialized, cisgender, settler with mixed ancestry currently living and working in Squamish, BC, located on the unceded traditional territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw. Born on the West Coast, Naomi (they/she) is privileged to have been raised up on the ancestral, unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) nations.
​
Completing a master’s degree in Counselling, Naomi offers an approach to therapy that is deeply rooted in relational, trauma-sensitive, anti-oppressive, justice-oriented values. Naomi believes that therapy can be a tender process and can open doors to empowered choice-making, softening, learning, and becoming un-stuck. In the therapy session, you can expect Naomi to be a patient, present ally and collaborator to the client’s journey. Therapy is hard, and takes a lot of energy, work, and bravery. She honors what it takes for folks to engage in the work of therapy and is sensitive to what can show up in the process.

Naomi is informed by attachment theory, the wisdom of the body, mindfulness, and intersectional feminism. She works alongside the challenges of grief, loss, relational/family struggles, and trauma; supporting individuals towards:
  • Navigating life transitions
  • Learning and healing from unhelpful relational dynamics
  • Examining, re-evaluating, and imagining resources of intimacy, love, rest, pleasure, joy, community- and self-care
  • Deepening awareness, trust, and compassion for the self
  • Processing anger

When not outside enjoying nature, Naomi loves to cook without recipes and make something out of nothing. She enjoys time with her family, playing music in a noise band, and having impromptu dance parties with her kiddo.
Naomi is pleased to offer counselling to youth and adults, online and in-person.
