Hi there, I'm James!

I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and many other behavioral health conditions. I believe every person has the innate capacity to learn, grow, and overcome any of the challenges in life with appropriate guidance and support.

My focus

I work with adults coping with depression, anxiety, grief, and addictive disorders. I also have experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I believe identifying your strengths and resiliencies is critical to making progress, no matter the challenges you face.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help you achieve your goals. The most important element is building strong rapport so we can effectively collaborate throughout the therapeutic process.
