(he/him)
I have worked in the behavioral health field for over 25 years, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am a licensed mental health professional in multiple states. I have earned progressively higher leadership responsibilities throughout my career, including providing clinical and executive leadership. Additionally, I have been providing telehealth services and striving to improve access to quality behavioral health services across the country since 2015. I have been fortunate to gain experience in diverse areas and feel I am equipped to help people with a variety of issues. I received a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Lindenwood University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from McKendree University.
During the first session I like to get to know you, gather some background information, and discuss what we would like to work on together.
I am passionate about helping individuals of all backgrounds with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and trauma. I utilize primarily interpersonal therapy, cognitive, cognitive behavioral and trauma informed approaches in my practice.
Throughout much of my career I was able to find a significant amount of experience managing crises, working with severe mental illness and addiction, and providing leadership to other clinicians. Utilizing evidence based approaches, I will strive to help you in areas such as improving your mood, reducing distress, managing anxiety, improving interpersonal relationships, enhancing social functioning, improving communication and conflict resolution, dealing with past trauma, and generally improving your ability to cope effectively. I often find that examining the connection between how you think, how you feel, and how you behave leads to identifying the keys to positive change.
I work primarily with adults, all ages, and I have experience with a variety of issues adults face.

An awesome therapist. He allows me to be me and lets the conversation flow with what is going on in my life.

Jim strikes me as someone with a wealth of experience, of which any part may be relatable to each person's experiences/perspectives, so it makes personal connections easier. At several points I had similar experiences to Jim's despite the age difference, so I felt a connection to him very easily. Too early in the process to judge effectiveness, but the first meeting is always a little stressful due to it being a new connection. Jim makes these very easy to go through.

Jim is very considerate and open. I like talking to him. I believe we will be able to address many of the issues I need to work on.
