TESTIMONIAL - Tom helped me accept the death of my mother and he helped me get out of a very toxic relationship. I was very pleased with his skill and the care that he brought to our sessions. I recommend his services to anyone that wants a GREAT therapist! Whether you are struggling in your relationship and need some pre-marital or marriage counseling or are tired of feeling anxiety and depression, I can help you connect with yourself or each other in a new way toward feeling better.
All healing and well-being happen in this present moment. I bow to everything within you, in the midst of your search and struggle, which has brought you here. I can appreciate both the suffering within you as well as the wisdom to just want to feel better and more connected. I am here to help you.

I have an MA in Integral Counseling Psychology from The California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco -- the first program in the world to blend Eastern spiritual traditions with Western psychology.
With twelve years of clinical experience, I am dedicated and skilled in helping people deepen in their own inherent presence and wisdom.
Both instantaneously and over time, this holistic psychotherapy approach brings lasting healing and relief from the myriad presenting issues which bring people such as yourself and so many to seek therapy, such as anxiety, depression, divorce recovery, and pre-marital and marital counseling.

People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons - relationship issues, anxiety and depression, creative blocks, or simply a sense that they are not headed in the right direction in their lives.
Ultimately, they come to therapy to effect change in their lives and get 'unstuck'.
As a psychotherapist, I work with you to identify the issues that keep you from living the life you want.
Whether or not you are outwardly successful, inside you may have feelings of worthlessness, uncertainty about relationships, anger and depression, or long-held beliefs that no longer serve you.

In working with couples, while I definitely do focus on communication skills, I have found that what seems to be most helpful, the crux of the work, is to strengthen the attachment bond in the relationship, often impacted strongly by each person's earlier attachments as young children.
I support the two of you through this process largely by helping you say, and feel, 'the most true thing', which is often hiding underneath the anger and frustration which has brought so many to seek couples counseling.

I have a way with teenagers, often building trust easily and quickly with my genuine and heartfelt nature.
It is this foundation of trust, non-judgment and acceptance that, paradoxically, nurtures change, growth, maturing and healing.
In addition to working directly with teens and the therapeutic relationship, I recognize that the parent-teen relationship is a primary one for a teenager, whether they may admit it or not!
I see addressing and working with this relationship as an important adjunct to treating teens as well.
