'BE CONSTRUCTIVE
WITH YOUR BLUES'

THOM YORKE

ABOUT

As both a person and therapist, I've always been interested in deep conversation, bad puns, and effective ways to reduce suffering.

Before focusing on counseling, some passions included filmmaking, writing, and pet sitting. To stay creative I'm always tinkering with a range of projects and keeping up with live music, new songs, and art of all kinds. I bring this creativity into our work together, to address the stuck points in your life in a personalized and hopefully unique way.

As a heads up, I'm going to need to know your favorite movie before we get started!

EXPERIENCE

Through volunteering at the local Crisis Line and seven years of employment at an eating disorder clinic, I've had the chance to gain extensive experience before stepping into private practice in 2021.

Becoming well-versed in effective and innovative options for mental health is a personal passion that I'm always learning more about. I hope this background helps us explore different options to address whatever's weighing you down.

If helpful, I'm also happy to share about my own encounters with life to remind you that you're not alone.
