Greetings. My name's Tom. I might be old but that just means I've been around and done some things including working as a professor, a French-trained chef and pastry chef, a professional photographer, I've been divorced and discovered how amazing a marriage can truly be, to some folks surprise even worked in a church for years. alongside handfuls of other things. The most exciting and rewarding thing I've ever done is meet people where they are in life to see them get closer to where they want to be. It's hard to beat and I strive to be worthy of that trust.
For the last 20 years as a licensed therapist in Ohio I specialize in supporting individuals navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics. and the complicated emotional and thought processes that often comes with them. I am deeply committed to creating a caring, collaborative therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their inner experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.
My approach integrates evidence-based techniques to support clients through diverse challenges, including mood disorders, workplace stress, relationship difficulties, and personal transformation. I believe in empowering individuals to reconnect with their inherent strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and rediscover a sense of purpose and self-understanding.
Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, processing a significant life transition, or seeking to improve communication and self-compassion, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your unique journey. Together, we can work towards healing, personal insight, and sustainable emotional well-being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
