I work with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, family changes, challenging peer relationships and the behaviors that can result from these issues. I have training and experience using Play Therapy and Sandplay, which employ children's natural way of communicating and learning, as well as other therapeutic modalities as appropriate to each individual. My approach is client centered and often non-directive, believing that when children experience emotional safety in a non-judgmental relationship, their inner wisdom naturally emerges to guide their learning, healing and growth.

I have spent many hours providing therapy to clients in both private practice and community mental health settings.
My approach to therapy is hu manistic and relational. I believe that pain and suffering are an unavoidable part of the hu man experience, but they do not have to be a per manent, all-consuming state of affairs. We all get stuck from time to time. Finding a way forward can seem unimaginable or downright impossible at times; we can become immobilized by fear, confusion, and indecision, or stuck in lifelong patterns of behavior that have outlived their usefulness. But through dialogue with a caring, curious, and compassionate other, we can find new ways to heal, to grow, and to move forward with our lives.

It’s important to me, as a hu man and therapist, that you are understood. One of the first things they teach counselors is that you must truly engage with clients through listening. My goal is to meet you with compassion and curiosity in order to tackle life’s challenges with unconditional positive regard. Without this baseline of curious, active listening, there’s no room to build an invaluable therapeutic relationship, where the best healing and growth takes place. Once there we will set goals, uncover patterns and values, identify how you make meaning, and - by the end of our time together - have you closer to who you want to be.

Hello, my name is Thomas. I am a psychologist and a Marine Corps Veteran.

Utilizing the latest research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), ICS views addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disorder. We believe that addiction alters brain function critical to decision-making, learning, memory, and behavior control. With this in mind, we work with our clients to build a framework for understanding their compulsive and self-destructive behaviors and help them in creating a plan to prevent relapse from happening. Ultimately, we want our clients to build a positive sober identity and thrive in recovery.

We all can feel stuck from time to time. Whether it's a relationship issue, a career issue, or challenges with depression or anxiety, we can find ourselves repeating the same patterns. I help people understand the patterns of their lives and how to move beyond challenges and towards fulfillment. I started my counseling practice in 2006 with a mission of helping people get unstuck and step into their power to create change in their lives, relationships, and communities. I believe that social change starts at the individual level and that we can all be powerful agents for change in our own lives and in the larger society.

It feels like you’ve lost everything. Morning no longer holds the promise of a new day, only the weight of unspeakable sadness. This is just the way life is now. The mail is piling up. Work deadlines are coming and going. Food has no taste, and everything that once seemed so important feels meaningless. Everyone else has moved on, but you're still stuck in that moment when your whole world ended. You can’t move on because you can’t imagine living without that love. And moving on would mean giving up that last remaining connection to the life you had. But, at the same time, you know you can't go on this way either. You feel trapped.

My approach is person-centered, focusing on you, the client, and the moment-to-moment engagement, discovering insights together. I can help you discover insights into barriers, and the constructive solutions to overcoming those barriers. Each person has the right to live a life free of negative thoughts and experiences—a life of healthy well-being.
