About Tommy
He draws on practical, skills-based therapies to address things like self-esteem, motivation, intimacy concerns, grief, and addiction. Sessions are described as collaborative - Tommy treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life while offering tools to shift thoughts and behavior. He offers daytime and evening appointments Monday through Thursday.
His background includes years of work in legal-system settings and a range of social work positions. That variety informs how he approaches challenges such as family of origin issues, blended family stress, codependency, and coping after traumatic events. He combines experience with clear, direct guidance rather than abstract theory.
Tommy uses several approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. He often pairs acceptance-based strategies with cognitive and behavioral techniques to build practical coping steps. Clients can expect straightforward conversations, skill practice, and attention to personal values and connection.
Tommy is licensed in New Mexico as an LICSW and also holds an LCSW credential in Washington. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients.
