My treatment methods

Eclectic

My approach to treatment emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and practical skills. I help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, examine how those patterns affect emotions and behavior, and practice healthier ways of thinking and responding. Through structured exercises, reflection, and real-life application, clients build resilience, insight, and lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing healthier ways of responding.

EMDR

Processing distressing memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Clarifying what you want to change, recognizing your strengths, and taking practical steps toward your goals.

Supportive

Providing a safe, encouraging space where you can feel heard, supported, and guided through difficult situations.

I have only had one meeting with Jim, but i feel like he is a good fit. He is warm, genuine, and we share similar lifestyle interests. i think confiding in him and sharing solutions will forge a healthy therapist/patient relationship.
