It is extremely discouraging when our fears, self-esteem, or mood get in the way of living a our lives the way we want and making rewarding connections with others. It is even more challenging when you also experience personal trauma or trauma on the community level. A culturally in-tune therapist can help. When I work with you, I take all aspects of your cultural identity into account so we can understand the whole picture of your life experiences together. You can feel safe to talk openly about your unique experiences tied to your racial, sexual or gender identity and the intersectionality of those and many more aspects of you.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to heal. This inspired me to become a therapist. I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, and mental health systems.

Are you the friend that everyone goes to for advice but ends up fighting your own battles alone? I often see clients who have big hearts and love helping others but funny enough… they don’t give themselves all that love. This leaves them feeling burnt out with responsibility and left with little time to pursue their own goals. It’s hard to say “no” to loved ones in need, or even colleagues, but giving too much can lead to resentment. When was the last time you said “YES” to your dreams and aspirations? When was the last time you put yourself first? It’s time to break the pattern and give yourself the care that you deserve.

Everyone thinks you have it “all together”, but inside you feel like you don’t even know who you are anymore or how you’re getting anything done. You may be fed up with always saving the day for others, yet have no idea how to help yourself, and feel a little selfish for even wanting to try! You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: something has to change. You’re ready to discover who you truly are and how to have better boundaries with others. You’re ready to feel confident in yourself and end unhealthy cycles. Most of all, you’re ready to take care of yourself for once.

Dr. Tom was born in Israel and raised in florida in a family with unique values, which led her to a genuine appreciation for culture and individuality. Growing up with a Hebrew name that was frequently misunderstood in a primarily English-speaking society fostered cultural awareness from a very young age. However, this adversity combined with pride for her identity allowed her to recognize and embrace others’ diversity. The dichotomy of growing up in a suburban American society with certain outlooks, and then coming home to differing cultural perspectives helped her develop an expanded range of vision and acceptance of others.
