Mindfulness−Based Transpersonal Counseling & Inner Child Work
Welcome!
I have a passion for working with people who feel called to explore their inner world, who feel like there is something there for them to learn, but perhaps don’t know where to begin. They long to feel connected with themselves and others, but are needing guidance about how to get there. They want to uncover the heart of their issues and learn why they keep getting stuck in the same patterns. They want to experience the freedom of being their authentic selves and saying “yes” to what serves them.
I’m inspired to help others because of the power and beauty that awoke in my life when I learned how to be in relationship to my Inner Child. I have extensive experience in recovery through 12-step and Inner Child Work, as well as a deep spiritual foundation, which is important to me and guides my work as a therapist. It allows me to be creative, inspired, and intuitive when working with clients.
About Me
I know what it’s like to walk the road of recovery. It’s not easy. We all need mentors and guides who understand what we’re going through, and believe in our ability to heal and grow into our truest selves. My personal recovery, education and training, and work with adults struggling with addiction and mental health challenges has equipped me with the skills to effectively and compassionately support clients at any stage of their recovery process.
My Approach
My counseling approach is primarily influenced by gestalt, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapy, as well as Inner Child Work and the expressive arts. It is my belief that healing trauma and addiction, and supporting a client’s journey to living from greater authenticity and wholeness, comes from acknowledging and affirming all parts of ourselves and taking loving actions that support our body, heart, and mind.

“Tobias is an excellent therapist. He has a very calm and focused presence. He has helped me navigate some very difficult and complex situations in my life and I am grateful to him for that. I would highly recommend him, especially for working through difficulties from the past and finding actionable solutions in the present.”
