Hi there, I'm James!

I believe in being authentic and warm and normalizing people’s experiences. I also use a mindfulness-based approach to facilitate more self-awareness and conscious choices. Therapy should always be a place to feel supported and to be yourself, and to explore why and who you are, and feel safe enough to try to change.

My focus

As a gay man, I work well with the LGBT population. I understand being different than the dominant culture, and therefore I also work well with anyone who has felt marginalized due to sexual orientation or race, or gender identity, or other ways one may feel unaligned. My goal is to help one find their unique life blueprint. Why are you here?

My approach

I work from a contemplative mindfulness approach. This means we explore your thoughts and feelings and choices from a place of stepping back and having a perspective on your life. We do this by learning skills to witness your internal process and becoming less invested in controlling outcomes, and more willing to accept life as it is.
