Tom’s work centers on presence and open inquiry into lived experience.

 

Healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about reconnecting with what is whole, wise, and unconditioned within us.

​

Much of this work begins by slowing down, becoming curious about our lived experience, and learning to listen more carefully to ourselves and each other.

 

Tom helps individuals and couples cultivate lasting well-being and more authentic, connected relationships. Many people come to him feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward.

 

He works with those navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, chronic stress and illness, neurodiversity, relationship struggles, spiritual emergence, and major life transitions.

 

Sessions explore bodily sensations, emotions, breath, and patterns of meaning as they arise in the moment.

 

Gentle attention to the breath may sometimes be introduced to support nervous system regulation. Through careful attention to experience, insight and change are allowed to emerge naturally.

 

In couples work, partners often begin to slow down reactive patterns and listen to each other with greater clarity, curiosity, and care.

 

As reactivity settles, many couples recognize the fears, longings, and unmet needs beneath their conflicts and rediscover the possibility of genuine connection.

 

Tom takes an ecumenical approach to healing, recognizing that growth may unfold across mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of life.

He serves as a Clinical Psychology Intern at Pau Hana Counseling in Hilo, where he works with youth, adults, couples, and families.

 

Tom also offers transpersonal coaching, breathwork, meditation support, and awareness practices that support the nervous system in unwinding old stress patterns and accessing its natural capacity for well-being.

 

Since his time at Prescott College, Tom has studied with several early pioneers of transpersonal psychology, including Stanislav Grof, Ram Dass, and Byron Metcalf.

In 2012 he completed 2,400 hours of training with Dr. Steven Teagarden, whose work in emergence focused on entering and sustaining a deep state of presence and allowing healing to unfold from that place.
