Hello! I'm Tohm and I’m a LCSW in New Jersey. I have worked in various psychiatric hospitals since 2012. My passion in counseling is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted, heard, and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I specialize in working with individuals aged 18 and older who struggle with depression, stress, grief, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and life changes. It's my privilege to assist someone through their difficulties and help them experience healing and relief. I believe therapy is most productive when it is supportive and casual, with a conversational tone and an open mind toward different strategies to address challenges. The key is a collaborative approach between both client and therapist. I offer lunchtime, evening, and some weekend hours. All sessions are virtual. Reach out for my exact availability. My counseling style is supportive, strength-based and rooted in direct inquiry. I believe in the dignity and worth of each person, and that the human spirit is quite resilient. As Kurt Vonnegut once boldly wrote, "It is hard to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of that: It can be done."

I have extensive clinical experience providing both individual and group psychotherapy to diverse populations.
