Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over three years of experience supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault through a local nonprofit. In this role, I’ve also worked with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges, including trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, and emotional distress. This experience has given me a strong foundation in understanding how different life experiences can impact emotional well-being. I work with adults and couples who are looking to strengthen their relationships, improve communication, work through conflict, and develop healthier ways to cope with anxiety, depression, and anger. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and down-to-earth space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are and exploring what feels heavy or stuck in your life. Outside of work, I value time with my family. My husband and I spend many weekends traveling to our daughters’ softball tournaments, and life at home stays busy with our dogs, cat, and nine goats. I also enjoy being outdoors and spending time in my garden, even while I’m still learning. I believe healing happens through connection, patience, and small meaningful steps, and I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you along the way.

Hi, I’m James. I have been counseling for several years. I consider myself to be compassionate, warm, and interested in learning who my clients are as people beyond just knowing what their symptoms are. The counseling experience with me is a partnership, not me pontificating to you about how you should be living your life. You are more than a partner in this process, you are the leader for managing your wellness with me offering feedback and guidance as necessary.

I believe that healing happens when people feel truly heard, understood, and safe enough to be themselves. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience, I work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, grief, and life transitions. I have spent my life and career focused on partnering with clients to seek out solutions that increase their inner peace and self-worth. I have a special interest in helping adults heal from the lasting effects of difficult childhood experiences, including emotionally unavailable or addicted parents, family dysfunction, childhood trauma, and insecure attachment. I also have spent several years helping children and adolescents make sense of their world. Together we can explore how early relationships continue to influence self-worth, boundaries, relationships, and emotional wellbeing while building healthier patterns for the future. I believe our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world, but they do not have to define the rest of our lives.

Life doesn't always go the way we expect, and sometimes we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not like ourselves. If you're here, you've already taken one of the hardest steps by reaching out for support. I'm passionate about helping women navigate some of life's biggest transitions. I specialize in working with women experiencing pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, PMDD, perimenopause, and menopause. These seasons of life can bring significant emotional, physical, and hormonal changes that often leave you wondering, "What's happening to me?" You don't have to figure it out alone. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, and other life transitions. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself—without fear of judgment. I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported as we work through life's challenges together. I believe therapy works best when it's a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to listen, offer guidance, and provide evidence-based tools that help you better understand yourself and navigate the obstacles standing in your way. Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs while helping you build practical skills that you can use long after our sessions end. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed by life's changes, or trying to find your way through a difficult season, you don't have to do it alone. Thank you for considering me to be part of your story. I look forward to supporting you as you work toward feeling more like yourself again.

Do you ever get caught off guard by a feeling that seems to come out of the blue? In some cases, you can "power through it" and not let it impact you too much, but other times it seems to get the best of you. Perhaps a little voice shows up and says "You shouldn't be feeling that way" or some version of "toughen up". While these ideas seem good in theory, they just don't take into account these feelings that are present. I help adults navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, addiction, and relationships through a compassionate, judgment-free approach. Using an eclectic, CBT-based framework, I support clients—especially creatives—on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. My own experiences with family trauma shape my understanding, allowing me to provide empathetic and personalized care.

Therapists have varying skills and knowledge that we bring to the table.

Hello! I began my social work journey in 2006 and have been working in the mental health field since I obtained my MSW in 2008. As a clinical social worker I have thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of helping individuals identify and address many mental health concerns and move towards the life they most desire. I am passionate about addressing the stigma around addictions and serious mental illness and I believe the best way to begin any mental health journey of recovery is with compassion and understanding. I work from a cognitive-behavioral perspective and I use a strengths-based orientation of empowerment to foster growth and progress. I feel that we are already our best selves-we just need some help letting go of the survival skills we've taken on to get through the toughest times in our lives. I have spent several years working exclusively with homeless veterans and individuals struggling with addiction, and this has given me additional perspective and insight into the needs of some of our most vulnerable populations. I am an advocate, an accountability partner, an empath and your greatest cheerleader. I'm excited to help you rediscover your best self and to claim the life you deserve.

My approach to therapy is solution-focused, compassionate, and centered on helping clients build lasting skills. Rather than simply helping someone get through the current crisis, I want to equip them with the tools they need to navigate future challenges with greater confidence and independence. I focus on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that drive recurring patterns, whether that's unresolved childhood trauma, deeply held negative beliefs about oneself, or other core experiences. My goal is to help clients process those experiences, challenge unhelpful cognitions, and develop healthier, more adaptive beliefs about themselves. While it's important to acknowledge and address what's happening in a client's life right now, I believe lasting change comes from understanding and working through the deeper patterns that contribute to those challenges. I strive to balance supporting clients through present-day concerns with helping them create meaningful, long-term change.

I come from a first responder family, and it shaped how I understand the people I work with. I built my practice specifically for law enforcement, fire, EMS, dispatchers/911, and veterans — people who carry things most providers have never had to sit with, let alone treat. I'm not interested in being another therapist who nods along without understanding the job. I get it, and that changes what happens in the room. Not all the work is about the job, either. Plenty of clients come to me for personal issues — relationship struggles, childhood stuff, grief, anxiety, things that have nothing to do with the badge or uniform. Being from this world just means I already understand the context you're operating in, whatever you're bringing to the room. I use evidence-based treatments — including EMDR, Brainspotting, and Prolonged Exposure, among others — to help clients process trauma that others may not fully understand. I also draw on Critical Incident Stress Management and Psychological First Aid for cumulative exposure, not just single-incident trauma. Whether it's an officer-involved shooting, years of runs finally catching up with someone, or something from long before the job started, I know how to work with it directly instead of dancing around it. My style is direct and less formal. I'm not going to make you explain your job to me or treat your coping mechanisms as automatically pathological. I'll call things what they are and won't waste your time with fluff. I work entirely via telehealth — meet with me from home, your vehicle between calls, wherever gives you privacy. If you want a therapist who won't flinch and actually understands the world you operate in, I'd like to work with you.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with experience working on a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I believe in creating a strong, trusting therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different, and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that is tailored to your needs. I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths, and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside, non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track.
