Hi there, I'm James!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in California. My approach to therapy is client-centered; I want to work on what you want to work on. You are the expert of your own life, and I am here to offer insight to help you meet your goals. I work primarily with adults who are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process.
My focus
I work with adults suffering from anxiety and depression. Using a trauma-informed framework, I offer a combination of practical coping skills in addition to emotional and psychodynamic techniques to ensure clients can fully explore upsetting memories and events in a safe space.
My approach
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Brief Problem Solving Therapy to help client achieve their goals. I also incorporate Trauma-Informed practices and Systems Theory to help meet your needs.
