LMFT, 15 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Hi, I'm James. I believe that the fundamental purpose of therapy is to create and facilitate change. Whether you are beginning or resuming the pursuit of healthy change in your life, I would love to join you in that effort. As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Supervisor of 15 years, I have had the privilege of serving a wide array of clients and I specialize in collaborating with you to decrease the impact of trauma, severe depression, anxiety, and psychosis. Regardless of the context that brought you to initiate this search, that intentional decision is a commendable step toward creating healthy change. I have spent much of my career serving and leading in agency work, and therefore have seen the results of systemic and societal trauma in its purest form and proudly serve those who are described as "high acuity", as well as those who need help with nagging doubts, sticky insecurities or outdated patterns. I encourage you to take that next step into self-care, healing and change. I pledge to honor your story, your process and to facilitate change. *Currently not accepting SELF PAY clients **Currently only accepting weekly clients (or twice per week if clinically indicated) on the hour. All appointments scheduled at the :15 or :30 mark will be moved and confirmed! Thank you!
Clients can expect to be seen, heard and understood, and will have a clear understanding of our work together and the initial treatment trajectory.
There are many tools and methods for achieving success in therapy, and I am eclectic in my approach to change. I have found that all tools require a solid foundation of safety, transparency and universal positive regard in order to be effective. Every person is unique in their perspective and sensory response to interventions; thus a single tool or treatment modality won't be effective, universally. We find what works, together.
There are very few clinical situations that I have not experienced, so all of my clients can feel safe speaking about the most vulnerable of experiences, with full confidence that we can come up with an immediate and effective plan.
I have found great success in working with those who are resistant, new or suspicious about therapy. I find myself drawn to serve those who are traditionally underserved and overlooked or who have had negative experiences navigating the healthcare system.

James listens and guides me to rethink approaches that may cause me to question approaches or that may cause frustration.

I love working with James - our conversations help me understand my brain and accept how my life has played out. We are getting to the heart of it - I feel seen, known, understood and supported.
