Office Information:

Quotation from Tom: The natural growth process of each person is toward health and wholeness. In the ordinary flow of physical, emotional, and spiritual growth we encounter life situations which interfere with this process. Physical, emotional, and spiritual symptoms appear when this growth process is thwarted. My work, as a psychologist and psychotherapist, involves working closely with others to identify basic physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and then to offer the invitation, challenge, encouragement, and support necessary to meet these needs courageously.
