Hi there, I'm James!

I’ve been licensed since 2018 and bring over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex emotional, relational, and psychiatric challenges with compassion, evidence-based strategies, and a focus on lasting growth.

My focus

I work best with clients exploring relationships, social connections, and life’s deeper questions. Together, we build structure, process meaning, and strengthen relational patterns. I provide practical CBT tools, existential reflection, and psychoeducation so you leave sessions with insight and skills you can use right away.

My approach

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which means we’ll work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and behaving that support your goals. At the same time, I integrate existential exploration, helping you reflect on meaning, purpose, and the choices that shape your life.
