Reaching out for help takes courage, and you are taking a step towards healing. Although this decision is brave, it can also be overwhelming. Life is full of situations that can leave you with sadness, anxiety, depression, or simply feeling lost and hopeless. Struggling with mental health can feel lonely and isolating. Working together with a therapist CAN change that. I find it meaningful to help clients better understand their inherent value and self-worth. In this way, while building a mutual understanding, we can find the best pace for you to take steps that can lead to growth. I am here to support you, to hear you, and to help you. I believe in a client-centered approach, meaning you are the expert on your life and I am here to help you.

Hi, I'm Tom. I help clients navigate life transitions, relationships, and emotional challenges with a practical, down-to-earth approach. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, I provide a supportive space where you can gain insight, develop new perspectives, and create meaningful change. Therapy with me isn’t about passive listening or generic advice—I believe in real conversations that help you understand patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build practical strategies that work for your life. Many of my clients are navigating major life changes, relationship struggles, or stress that feels difficult to manage alone. My approach is collaborative and straightforward, offering guidance that’s both insightful and actionable. I focus on helping you uncover the root of your challenges while equipping you with the tools to make meaningful progress. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to support growth and change. My goal is to make therapy accessible and useful—whether you're new to it or have tried before but didn’t quite connect with the process. If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help.
