Hi there, I'm James!

I bring warmth and deep experience to our work together, creating a space where you can explore challenges like trauma, relationship struggles, depression, and grief. My goal is to help you understand yourself more fully and develop practical tools for lasting change.

My focus

I work with individuals facing trauma, behavioral challenges, relationship issues, mental illness, grief, substance use concerns, anger management, and depression. My focus is on helping you find clarity and develop skills that support meaningful growth.

My approach

I integrate CBT and mindfulness with a person-centered foundation rooted in Carl Rogers' principles. This means I meet you where you are, honoring your unique experience while offering evidence-based strategies to help you navigate difficult emotions and build resilience.
