When life feels overwhelming for you, or your child is having a difficult time navigating school and relationships, together we can work on ways to bring back a sense of peace and make life more manageable. I specialize in treating children and adolescents. Transitioning into the college years is an area that can be challenging which I offer support in as well.

I work to support children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression and anxiety, trauma, relational challenges, and behavioral and educational concerns.
I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool to build upon or develop skills to manage life's many twists and trials. Therapeutic work can also be extremely effective in improving and changing our relationships. I strive to create a comfortable and supportive environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and respected. I love the work that I do and I believe it is really important to maintain a level of hope that positive change can occur in your life. This hope is especially important for those who've been impacted by trauma and abuse and for new parents struggling to find their way, both populations I have a passion to serve.

I enjoy working with all kinds of clients but specialize in children, adolescents, families, OCD, phobias, and other types of anxiety disorders.
Finding the right therapist can be a challenging process. When working with clients I believe in being patient and free of judgment. Taking the step to go to therapy can be a big one and I wish to create a safe, comfortable environment for you to explore what is currently causing distress in your life. I believe in the process of change, and I know that each of us is capable of finding our happiness, reaching our goals, and achieving our full potential.

Hello and welcome. My name is Dr. James and I am a licensed psychologist working with kids, adults, and families in therapy. If your child or teen struggles with managing big and difficult feelings, low self-esteem, relationship or school issues, or if you are someone who worries about everything, put others before yourself, or thinks you are not good enough or can't do anything right, then you are in the right place! Many people enter my office wanting to live their best lives but not knowing where or how to start. I am here to help guide you or your child on that journey.

I work with sensitive children, teenagers and young adults who struggle with expressing themselves, experience anxiety and depression, and have difficulties in voicing their needs in relationships with family and friends and school. Many clients I work with can begin to miss out and avoid opportunities for growth and may experience fear and lack confidence to take chances and try new things. In my approach, I strive to provide a relaxed and judgment free zone for clients to build up their ability to express themselves, develop an understanding of their wants and needs, and begin to participate in life more with new found confidence.

To become more intimate or connected to others, we need to improve the quality of connection to ourselves. I work with children, teens and adults. I specialize in working with individuals who are seeking personal empowerment in their lives. There are many life events, situations, or relationships that interfere with one's sense of empowerment. When feeling disempowered, one's capacity to access a full self becomes limited.

I am interested in working with a diverse client base, however have a particular focus in working with young adults. I enjoy working with individuals who are in the process of self discovery as is common for young people who are learning about themselves and making important life decisions. Also, I have a passion for working with the LGBT (and questioning) community. Helping folks who are in the process of coming out and understanding their gender and sexual identities is an area I’ve specialized in.

Most of us experience times in our lives when we feel we have lost our way. The longer we are adrift the more isolated we become and sometimes we sink into despair.

I encourage you to listen to that small voice telling you that now is the time for change.

When I began learning about therapy, the first thing that stood out was this statement: “The client- counselor relationship is the most important criterion for effectiveness.” In my experience with Suicide Prevention, Substance Dependence, Transition Aged Youth in Foster care, and Individual & Family therapy I found the statement to be accurate.

Are you in a "caterpillar stage" of life? You sense that you could be more, but you find yourself limited by negative thoughts and/or overwhelming emotions. Or are you in a "chrysalis stage"? Your whole life seems to have disintegrated into nothing recognizable, and you are struggling to make sense of it all. From a foundation of empathy, acceptance, compassion, and respect, I provide a safe and supportive environment in which to grow and/or heal. I work from a "client-centered" approach that helps you find your own answers and healing from within.

We all have work to do. We don't have to do it alone. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, I explore with my clients their dreams, artwork, relationships, and daily life experiences, to bring light and insight to blockages and barriers to their full experience and enjoyment of life. Such blockages can be past trauma, incorrect embedded beliefs, injured parts, and/or ingrained thought patterns and habits. Once these things are processed and/or healed, new ways forward can be nurtured.
