My name is Tomi (pronounced “Tommy”), and I am a white, genderqueer and trans person with lived experience of chronic invisible physical and mental illness. I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker living and working in private practice on unceded traditional land of the Wabanaki Confederacy in so-called central Vermont.
I work with queer and trans young adults, adults, and elders both virtually and in-person. My work focuses on creating a safe relational container for clients to explore their sense of self, connect to their bodies’ knowing, and move towards what is important to them. I support clients in contextualizing their experiences within the greater systems we exist within. We work together to reflect on what is and isn’t working, develop understanding and self-compassion for where they’ve been, to reimagine what is possible, and build motivation and strategies to lean into who they want to be. I believe that understanding our nervous system responses and building capacity to respond to ourselves with care is essential to the healing process. I strive to be a thoughtful, curious, and compassionate collaborator on that journey. It is such a gift to witness and support my clients.
Outside of my therapeutic work, I love to garden, play with my dog, read fantasy novels, get crafty, and be involved in my community! I am excited to join the embodied private practice cohort to build community in what can be lonely work, and to learn and grow alongside others with aligned values.
