My counseling style is to approach each person with compassion, respect, and empathy. I enjoy helping people navigate the challenges of life by creating a safe, respectful, and judgement free space.

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.

He's very compassionate and helpful
Thomas has been such a great start/entrance into therapy. I immediately had a connection from our first interaction. Looking forward to growing/learning with him.
I am happy with my counselor. Have to say though, I find this kind of survey intrusive. I was trying to send a message to my counselor and this survey pops up, not really what I feel like doing right now
Thomas has been great! I have learned a lot in just the short time I have been seeing him. I'm very grateful to have Thomas as my counselor.
