About me
I have a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Accredited Triple P Provider, Certified AutPlay® Therapy Provider, EMDR trained therapist and Theraplay trained therapist. I am also a member of the American Psychological Association and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My experience includes working with families in crisis, working with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, behavioral disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, traumatic stress disorders, and chronic and terminal medical conditions. I provide a variety of therapeutic options, such as sandtray therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness-based services, family-focused therapy, and teletherapy.
I have several years post graduate experience work counseling children and adults, as well as 15 years of experience working specifically within the autistic community. I have served as a case manager, resource coordinator, and client advocate for children and parents. I currently offer therapeutic and educational services at my clinic in Springfield, Missouri and online.
I am well aware of the conflicts that can occur when trying to work therapy and other appointments in around a busy work/school/family schedule. I am committed to providing therapeutic services during evening and weekend hours to help clients avoid as many unnecessary conflicts to gaining mental health care access as possible.

Tomi is wonderful! She’s supportive and listens. She gives feedback and is helping me understand issues in my life and how to resolve or change things. I feel like I have a coach in life. I never wanted to vent to a friend or family member about my life in fear of judgement and now I have Tomi who will give sound advice, and calm my spirit. I don’t feel alone anymore and I don’t feel judged. I’m grateful and look forward to my future!

Tomi has been excellent and lives up to her qualifications. She’s very considerate and really nice. She’s honest while also putting into account my comfort level and the help I need with trauma. I would highly recommend her as a therapist

Tomi has been helpful to me in a time when things are rough and not going well. She gives me suggestions and things to think about, but knows that I will get to where I need to go just be giving me the time I need and just by listening to me.

Tomi seems like an amazing person! I’ve only had one session due to my work hours being in the cooking industry. But I look forward to our sessions and can’t wait to go forward.
