LMFT, 25 years of experience
I have worked in private practice and the school systems providing Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) for almost 25 years. During this time I founded a small business where my team and I provide these mental health services individually and in groups on-site to school districts all over Sonoma County, CA. I love working with children k-12 and their families. I have worked in non-public schools, public schools, and privately with at-risk youth and their families. This has been my passion my whole career. I have been married to my lovely wife for 18 years, together for 24 years and we have two beautiful children. Our son is 13 and our daughter is 10. I enjoy all things outdoors. I surfed competitively in my youth and I love mountain biking, snowboarding and anything that has to do with water, but my main love is spending time with my family.
In our first session together we will spend time exploring the topics/issues you are being challenged with and we will begin building trust and rapport. Together we will explore the goals that you are seeking and you can expect to walk away from the first session with a clear idea of expectations, ways to achieve these goals and feel heard and understood.
My biggest strengths are my ability to build rapport and trust quickly. If rapport and trust are not built there is no relationship so I focus on this at the beginning of our relationship so we can move forward towards goals and build a long-lasting relationship. Individual work is a system whether I'm working with a child or their parents. Family is a system that has to work together to achieve an individual's progress. One of my strengths is supporting, educating, and helping the whole system heal and make progress toward goals.

He was honest, direct, and incredibly empathetic without trying to push us in any particular direction. His ability to provide clarity and ask good questions in an open-minded way was amazing and very helpful.

Tosh was very easy to talk to and very attentive. Being new to this, was very nerve wracking but he had me feel good about the whole situation.

Tosh has a calm, measured approach and he explains things in a way I understand. He's a good listener and he seems to remember quite a few things I've told him in earlier sessions, which I definitely appreciate. I feel fortunate to have landed here.
I use this treatment to assist clients in altering negative thoughts that contribute to anxiety and depression. I use numerous modalities and methods to assist clients in reframing their thoughts to produce better self-esteem, confidence and drive to achieve their goals.
