My desire to serve the community in which I grew up in, has always been important to me. I have worked at overdose prevention sites, harm reduction residential facilities, suicide crisis lines, and employment family assistance program (EFAP). It’s been a privilege to work with such a diverse range of clients. Having lived experience as a first responder, I am aware of how trauma can profoundly impact the mind and body.

I moved around a lot as a child and settled in Vancouver fifteen years ago.
Hello, I’m James.
I offer companionship in inquiry. Come as you are. Whatever is real for you right now is welcome with me. I am reliable, dependable, and have no expectations for you to be other than you are.
I will encourage you to get curious about your situation, and to replace judgement with curiosity. Together, we could explore how you live, relate, and make sense of your experience. I can keep you company as we map the territory where you may have lost your way, step into the unknown, and explore what emerges next.
No blueprints, no predetermined outcomes. Let’s work together to co-create our own rules of engagement.
