“I cannot recommend Tom highly enough as a recovery coach. We have worked with him for many years and he has consistently demonstrated a steady yet passionate devotion to helping others find their own path to wellness. He has an innate capacity to authentically and compassionately connect with clients at the various stages of their recovery journey. Within his work, he is able to masterfully balance a non-judgmental approach while also cultivating personal accountability for those who are trying to recognize the self-limiting barriers inherent to personal transformation. In fact, we have never sent him a client that he has not been able to reach in some capacity. He is a truly gifted agent for change and healing.”
– Dr. Chantelle Thomas, Executive Clinical Director of The Manor
"When I found Tom, I felt lost, broken, and alone. I was about to retire as a successful executive but was acting out in addiction. I was emotionally numb and scared to death of the future. Tom has been a gentle but powerful force of positive guidance and influence on my path toward becoming an emotionally healthy and whole man. He connected with me in an authentic way as he listened and asked questions for me to reflect on. I have found him to be insightful, display wisdom, and be firm and honest. Through the process, Tom would ask questions that required me to reflect, and that only I could answer. It required that I begin to get honest with myself."

"Tom is one of the most conscientious and thoughtful people I know. His easy going style and quiet confidence make him a natural problem solver in the addictions treatment field. If you need a pointman to manage a complicated case or comfort an anxious family member, Tom's your man."
– Eric Bricker, LMHC, therapist in private practice & host of the Good Counsel podcast
"Tom has helped me navigate through codependency, recovery, and spirituality. Throughout my marriage and divorce, I have learned to set better boundaries and how to express my feelings in a non-threatening way. Tom has shown me how to be true to who I am. We have been able to work with and develop my strengths while lessening my weaknesses. It has helped me define my life roles and design my mission of becoming a better man."
– Chris, 52
“I started working with Tom during a time when I was struggling with addiction and trauma, divorce and feeling lost. He ended up being a significant pillar within my support team, while providing empathy and respect along the way. Tom supplied me with the key tools to work with, insightful wisdom, and just the right amount of humor to keep me going. To this day, I know that Tom is a resource I can always count on.”
