Greetings! Thank you for stopping by my page. My name is Tommy, I am a masters-level licensed clinician and specialize in working with individuals seeking support for their alcohol and substance use. My clients may have found that their use of alcohol or substances are no longer benefiting them, while other client's may have a history of addiction treatment and are now seeking ongoing support.
In my practice I seek to reduce the power-imbalance that can often occur during counseling as I believe that counseling is "a meeting between two experts" in that nobody knows the client better than they do. This is the heart of the person-centered counseling style.
Clients and I set goals that involve feelings of self-confidence and connection, an ability to cope effectively with uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and finally that the goal that clients have all the internal and external resources to successfully live life without counseling.
