Hi there, I'm James!

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I grew up in Southern California and have worked in this area for the past 30 years. During that time, I have been fortunate to have worked with a wide range of people, couples, and families, addressing many issues important to them. I am here to be of value to you and your life situations, possibly.

My focus

The majority of my experience has been with people between the ages of 18 through 80 years old, addressing a wide range of life challenges and relationship issues.

My approach

I am trained in many different psychological counseling approaches, but I have found that Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy often benefits clients with short-term solutions to many life challenges. I am also flexible enough to allow my clients to modify my approach to best help them.

My communication style

I have found that listening to my clients allows me to tailor my feedback to their specific needs most productively.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma. This experience showed me the role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. We’ll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As we work together, your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure it’s always meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
