Get to know Naomi

What types of clients do you work with best?

Clients who are open to looking at the hard stuff and recognizing that being uncomfortable some time is the actual road to finding a way to be comfortable with who you are and who you want to be.


What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

I really enjoy working with those struggling with who they are in the worlds it's amazing what finding clarity in the midst of storms can do to allow folks to create and bloom!


What's one thing you wish all clients knew?

Breathe- so many challenges that seem like they are going to crash around us are managed so much better when we stop and breathe.

Why did you choose to practice at Thriveworks?

I wanted the joy and success of a private practice with an amazing support system around me.


What inspires you?

The magic of another day no matter what happened yesterday or last week or last year or twenty years ago a new day is another opportunity to make it better and maybe even get it right.


What can clients expect in their first session with you?

I believe that therapy is a collaborative exercise best performed in the midst of a relationship. I need find out who you are and what matters to you. I need your successes and your challenges I need you to know you are safe to be authentic vulnerable and real that doesn't happen overnight, but it does start at the first visit.


What should clients know about you before scheduling a first counseling session?

I am creative, eclectic, passionate and brave and that's before 7 am. I bring an amazing energy to a space and what color my hair is today always an adventure.


What do you do for fun/on your time off?

I love to travel and play I love Yoga, Pilates, Barre and dancing!!!!


What's one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?

I am a Queer black woman of God perhaps the irony of all of those adjectives happily existing together defines me .
