Inspired by a family legacy of social work and my grandmother’s dedication to helping others, I carry forward the values of compassion and service, supporting the community through transformative therapy.
Finding the right therapist is a bit like finding the right “fitted” – you’ve got to try a few on to see what fits just right. Hey there! I’m Tomario, a Master’s level Social Worker.
As a therapist, my focus is on supporting individuals who may find themselves burdened by past experiences, avoiding social interactions, struggling to communicate their emotions, or turning to substances as a means of numbing their feelings. Feeling weighed down by unresolved issues from your past, navigating social situations can feel overwhelming, and expressing your emotions may seem like an impossible task. I provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for exploration and healing.
I offer a supportive and professional environment through teletherapy, providing you with a space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment. I actively encourage individuals to take the initiative in fostering positive changes in their lives, ultimately working towards a sense of inner peace.
I draw inspiration from my grandmother’s impactful legacy in social work and her unwavering commitment to assisting others. My goal is to provide therapeutic support for your growth journey. Let’s establish a connection and transform your aspirations into tangible realities, recognizing the significance of your dreams. Your well-being is my utmost priority.
