About
Dr. Tom was born in Israel and raised in florida in a family with unique values, which led her to a genuine appreciation for culture and individuality. Growing up with a Hebrew name that was frequently misunderstood in a primarily English-speaking society fostered cultural awareness from a very young age. However, this adversity combined with pride for her identity allowed her to recognize and embrace others’ diversity. The dichotomy of growing up in a suburban American society with certain outlooks, and then coming home to differing cultural perspectives helped her develop an expanded range of vision and acceptance of others. Dr.Tom tends to focus treatment on connecting clients’ past to their present through facilitating discussions about the client’s childhood and family structure. She finds that once clients better understand their past, they have clarity with their present and can act more intentionally to create the life that they desire. Her enthusiasm and activism for diverse and taboo topics drives her desire to create a safe space in her relationships for ostracized individuals to bring to the surface their own perceived taboos. Her naturally curious, empathic, and genuine personality encourages the transparency and trust necessary to create a safe and effective therapeutic environment.
