Allow me to first acknowledge the incredible strength and bravery it takes to start a journey to heal. It’s a badge of honor to be a part of this journey with you!
I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 11 years in the mental health field. I have 9 years of experience providing counseling and supportive care management 5 of which were specifically therapy. I have 2 years of leadership/policy development and implementation for various mental health agencies.
I have worked with individuals living with severe and persistent mental illnesses, individuals with concerns including depression, anxiety, and emotional trauma/abuse. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life in various stages of change/motivation from the undomiciled to LGBTQ+ and all those in between.
My therapy style is warm, interactive, non-judgmental, person-centered, respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness approaches. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Thomas is amazing!! He truly makes me feel safe enough to talk about what matters to me in the moment and those things I thought I’d never be able to work through. Thank you Thomas!

He listens, keeps notes, brings stuff up that I've said in the past... He really makes me felt heard and understood, while also getting to know how to best deal with how my brain works.

Great therapist!

He's kind, listens, and responds based on my input, not with just generalized responses. He tries to help out with things that I don't think he even needs to help out with and it's greatly appreciated.

Thomas has been one of my greatest blessings this year. He has been everything I could have wanted in a therapist and I am so grateful for all that he’s helped through!
