Hello,
My name is Noemi and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, navigating major life transitions, and couples who feel stuck in the same patterns or conversations.
Many of the clients I work with come in feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure why the same issues keep showing up. I enjoy helping clients slow things down, identify patterns, and gently access the deeper emotions underneath what they are experiencing.
I take a trauma-informed approach and often integrate grounding, mindfulness, and somatic tools to help clients feel safer and more connected to themselves. I am especially drawn to working with clients who feel like life feels chaotic or a lot is changing all at once.

EDUCATION & TRAINING
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family
Therapy from Pepperdine University. My training includes trauma-informed care, DBT-informed
skills, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals and couples, and Gottman Level
1 training.
In addition, I am a 200-hour certified Yoga Teacher, which strongly informs my use of
mindfulness, breathwork, and body-based awareness in therapy. I also incorporate behavioral
activation, including movement-based practices such as walking or running, when clinically
appropriate, to support regulation, motivation, and reconnection with the body.
MY APPROACH
My approach is reflective, insight-oriented, and highly relational. Clients often describe feeling
understood, supported, and gently challenged in our work together. I believe therapy should feel
safe but also engaging, and I value creating a space where clients can bring their full selves into
session. While I move at a client-led pace, I may gently push when it feels supportive and
clinically appropriate.
I am especially passionate about trauma work, helping clients feel safer within themselves, and
supporting couples who are willing to do the work together. I also care deeply about supporting
women and enjoy celebrating progress and wins along the way. My goal is for clients to leave
therapy feeling more grounded, empowered, and hopeful.
