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.
My guiding principle is one of no-holds-barred co-discovery. Everything is permitted until one of us says stop. My responsibility is to ensure a safe play space where we can wrestle deeply, without harm. My therapeutic approach seeks to move beyond traditional therapist and patient roles and cultivate an environment of candid spontaneity in which to play.
I'm a divorced dad of two. I moved around a lot as a child and settled in Vancouver fifteen years ago. I love cycling, the bunnies at Jericho, and the vivid diversity of this city's people. I welcome people from all backgrounds and stages of life. I am interested in, and open to, everyone. You're welcome to get in touch.
