Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful. Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.

There are many reasons why we seek out therapy. Perhaps we're feeling emotionally distressed, or maybe we're having difficulty functioning like we used to in certain aspects of our lives. Whatever the reason, we each have the capacity to heal and grow to our fullest potential. With the right therapist, psychotherapy can be a life-altering experience. I firmly believe that the most positive therapeutic outcomes are born of strong therapeutic relationships. Nonetheless, once trust and rapport are established, it is equally important for the therapist to have strong clinical knowledge and a specific plan to help each individual client.

Hi! I'm James. Over the last decade I’ve seen good results helping people who feel that their life just recently “fell off track” even if they did not expect therapy to be the answer. I’ve tried to nurture this niche of helping those emotionally effected by high pressure stress. I have helped individuals address low mood, depression, anxiety, and low life-satisfaction. I have also worked with children and families to expand communication skills and patterns, improve relationships, increase feelings of security, and optimize being accurately understood.
