Hi there, I'm James!
I am a California-licensed clinical psychologist (PSY9558) with considerable experience in private practice and as a professor of psychology and director of a doctoral program in clinical psychology. I have two daughters, the oldest of whom has a master’s degree in child education, and the youngest of whom is a licensed clinical psychologist.
My focus
My client focus is on adult clients who are having problems with depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders; clients who are experiencing everyday relationship problems; and clients experiencing marital difficulties. I am most comfortable working with clients who have adequate contact with reality, good reality testing, and sufficient motivation
My approach
I have a collaborative therapeutic approach that involves establishing a relationship that has at its core a safe, supportive, and caring environment in which the client and I focus on identifying the client’s difficulties, establishing therapeutic goals, and working toward solutions. My goals for clients are to improve their quality of life.
