Hi there, I'm James!

Starting therapy is an opportunity to explore why we think and act in certain ways and to change when we're ready. I respect people who want to make changes in their lives, and my approach is supportive and collaborative. I help clients identify why they feel and act in certain ways and reduce anxiety, depression, and overcome traumas.

My focus

Life challenges us at different stages. I've worked with older adults seeking life review, people with serious disorders, and couples strengthening their relationship. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, reinvigorating a relationship, or exploring personal goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth.

My approach

My approach is typically cognitive and behavioral, relying on understanding the issues and working collaboratively to focus on possible interventions and solutions. I also use an existential approach to help clients identify their purpose and meaning in life and the goals they want to accomplish.
