My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My approach to cognitive behavioral therapy 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.

James has helped me tremendously overpowering fears and struggles, trauma from horrible family dynamics. He helps me see the light in the situation and helps me find myself and my peace in them. He's a really great listener and truly takes in everything that's told to him. I recommend him so so much.
