Professional statement

Hi, I’m Tom, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across a wide range of needs. My approach is collaborative and personalized—I draw from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy, while staying grounded in a person-centered perspective so we can focus on what matters most to you.
I’ve worked with children and adults navigating challenges related to mental health, substance use, and developmental differences, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
I look forward to connecting and working together.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s important to find someone who feels like the right fit. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported from the very beginning.
In our work together, we’ll take time to understand what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping to change or improve. I take a collaborative, practical approach—drawing from tools like CBT and DBT—while tailoring our sessions to your unique needs, goals, and pace.
Whether you’re navigating stress, life transitions, substance use, or longer-standing challenges, we’ll focus on building skills, gaining insight, and making meaningful progress in your day‑to‑day life.
If you’re curious about working together, I’d be happy to connect for a brief consultation to see if it feels like a good fit.
