(he/him)
Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated from Duquesne University and then Marywood University. As a counselor/therapist I work with adults as they navigate the anxieties of life and relationships. I help people identify and assess the thinking/thoughts that bother them and interrupt their relationships with their family or at work. I have studied and used different therapeutic approaches to support persons at different stages of growth. I am not accepting couples at this time.
At out first session we will find out what is important to you and for you. It's good to leave the first session with a direction...
As a person, I am non-judgmental which has been a good quality for me as a provider. I know that our histories as persons have been affected by experiences that have happened in obscurity or perhaps a long-time ago. As a provider, my investment is to give you a solid place to start through acceptance of where we are.
I love working with individuals as they explore and invest in themselves and their relationships. Anxiety can be overwhelming in that it can be linked to depression, as well as detrimental to relationships. Anxiety can manifest as barriers to fulfillment, whether that be personal or professional. Some therapists only work with the management of symptoms. An ideal client is open to working to develop insight into the profound reasons for anxiety.

Attachment-based
Counseling can give advice to help solve a problem, but therapy explores the reasons for our behavior that we have pushed aside. Attachment based therapy works to uncover solutions that lay the foundation for the long-term, not just for the moment. Attachment based therapy is a deeper understanding of what a person may discover in CBT.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
CBT will help a person examine themselves and their actions and reactions. Most everyone who seeks counseling will be engaged with CBT as it provides a pathway and a structure to for a person to assess themselves. How do I think? How do I react? and why? CBT is a good counseling that can provide tangible coping strategies for anxiety and depression. I use CBT as the structure of CBT is used as a gateway as persons head into or head away from crisis.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is how I would deliver an attachment based therapy. EFT is a way of looking at primary emotions, secondary emotions and the way these emotional expressions elicit positive or negative responses in others and then in ourselves. EFT helps to map out the emotional interactions which override and outmatch a person's thought processes. I believe in EFT because it is the gateway to a better understanding of ourselves which helps us grow.

Jim is great about meeting me where I am on every appointment. Sometimes, I don't have anything to bring to the appointment. Sometimes I have a specific topic. Sometimes, I just need to share what's been happening in my life. No matter how I arrive, when the camera turns on, Jim meets me where I am and we work together from there.

Jim is a great therapist. I enjoy having deeper conversations and thinking more openly about the topics we speak about. He has been great working with me, and the acronyms and ideas he brings to the meetings are creative. I look forward to my meetings and feel better leaving them.
