With a focus on developing self-awareness, resilience, and practical skills, Dr. Thomas guides you through a therapeutic journey designed specifically for you.
In this safe, welcoming, and confidential setting, Dr. Thomas and you work together as a team to address your issues at your own pace. Her experience and understanding foster a sense of security, all of which are necessary in doing effective therapy.
Through sessions with Dr. Thomas, it can be easier to work through your issues and your feelings related to them, all while developing strategies for managing them.

Through both her experience and compassionate approach, Dr. Thomas provides guidance that helps her clients enhance their decision-making, communication, and self-reflection skills. Clients often leave their sessions feeling more self-aware and empowered. It’s entirely possible that, in time, you could, as many have, feel a renewed sense of clarity and confidence to face present and future challenges.
Dr. Thomas’s understanding and empathy create a space where even those who find it hard to open up can feel comfortable. Clients can acquire a deeper understanding of themselves and gain the tools needed to lead a more fulfilling, balanced life.
Grief Counseling
The loss of a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences, often bringing overwhelming emotions that can be confusing and intense, at the risk of understatement. Dr. Thomas offers grief counseling to help individuals navigate this complex process in a healthy way.
She understands that everyone’s journey through grief is unique and deeply personal. Dr. Thomas creates a supportive, compassionate environment where you can express yourself openly, free from judgment or any pressure. That way, you can move through grief at the pace that’s right for you.
Recognizing that grief has no “correct” path, she tailors her approach to each individual, helping you to process the loss at a pace that feels right. Her goal is not to help you to find ways to live with it and to incorporate it into your life in a way that allows you to heal emotionally.
In sessions, Dr. Thomas works with you to create strategies for coping with grief in your daily life. She helps you remember your loved one in meaningful ways, while also helping you move forward.

Whether your loss is recent or happened some time ago, Dr. Thomas offers the understanding and guidance needed to navigate grief and honor your loved ones.
Couples Counseling
Even the healthiest relationships can encounter challenges. Issues such as communication, stress, and/or physical intimacy problems can strain connections and threaten even the most established, loving relationship. These can, at bare minimum, make it hard for partners to feel understood or valued by each other.
Dr. Thomas provides couples counseling to help partners work through these issues, rebuild trust, and reconnect with each other. In her supportive space, partners can openly express concerns and receive objective guidance on how to approach their relationship challenges with each other.
In these couples counseling sessions, Dr. Thomas acts as a mediator, helping each partner to listen, understand, and validate the other’s perspective. Her approach allows couples to get to the root of their issues and to work together on practical solutions. Through counseling, couples often find they’re able to rebuild their emotional bond and develop new skills for communication and empathy with each other.
Also, by helping couples recognize and address their negative patterns, Dr. Thomas assists the partners in creating healthier, more positive relationship dynamics.
In addition to helping with immediate issues, Dr. Thomas’s approach also fosters a deeper understanding of each other’s needs and desires. With many years of experience, Dr. Thomas has helped many couples strengthen their bonds physically, emotionally, and cognitively, as well as helping couples learn how to overcome difficult times together.
From sessions with Dr. Thomas, many couples gain a new, healthier perspective on their relationship, learn to better appreciate each other’s uniqueness, and become more capable of nurturing a lasting, resilient connection.
Life Transition Counseling
Life transitions, whether planned or unexpected, can bring stress and uncertainty. That’s true of even the most welcome, anticipated changes. Major events like starting a new career, moving, beginning a family, or ending a relationship can create upheaval in one’s life, impacting emotional well-being and self-confidence.
Dr. Thomas offers life transition counseling for individuals facing these moments of change, providing support to help them approach new chapters with resilience and self-assurance.
During life transition counseling, Dr. Thomas works with you to clarify your values and goals, helping you create a path forward. Through her guidance, you’ll gain tools to develop emotional resilience, allowing you to navigate change with less stress and more self-confidence. These sessions are designed to help you find clarity and prioritize your needs as you move forward.
Dr. Thomas emphasizes the importance of recognizing your own strengths, even in moments of doubt. Her approach encourages clients to build on their personal assets, empowering them to face new challenges with a sense of purpose.
By working with Dr. Thomas, you can transform periods of transition into opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery.
Many clients find that with her support, they’re better prepared and better equipped to handle life’s inevitable changes with the necessary skills to live healthier and happier.
Teletherapy for Convenient and Accessible Support
For those who may be unable to attend in-person sessions, Dr. Thomas offers teletherapy services, making therapy accessible to individuals with busy schedules, physical limitations, or other constraints. Teletherapy provides the same benefits as in-person therapy, but with the added convenience of being able to connect from any private setting.
Dr. Thomas provides teletherapy for all types of counseling, including individual, couples, and grief counseling, making it a flexible option for anyone in need of mental health support.
