My passion is to work with autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Living as a neurodivergent individual, it’s frustrating how often the systems that autistic and neurodivergent people interact with are not trained in working with folks like us. After being diagnosed with ADHD, I made it a priority to learn more about neurodivergent conditions to contextualize my own experiences, and better help others like me. I have worked in multiple settings with neurodivergent individuals, including crisis response and outpatient therapy.

Hi, I'm James and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I specialize in working with couples to improve communication, conflict resolution, connection, and infidelity. I also work with individuals who have concerns such as anxiety, depression, divorce, navigating family dynamics, loss, self-esteem, and a variety of other intra-personal concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to set goals, identify problematic patterns, increase awareness of patterns, and change or break those patterns. I have a down to earth approach and avoid the use of jargon. I make therapy approachable for even the biggest of skeptics.

To me, as a therapist, it is essential to develop a safe, nonjudgmental, honest, and supportive space for each and every client to unpack, process and move forward. I work with children ages 5-17 years, adults, and families facing various challenges and diagnoses.

Sometimes simply living life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and constantly asking "why". Effective counseling offers you the opportunity to confront those insecurities and negotiate that maze of "why" emerging to feel empowered and secure. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, issues at school or work, grief or trauma, perhaps substances are ruining your world or you need a Impaired Driving Assessment on which your independence and freedom can rely. I can help you and you can take back what uncertainty and fear have claimed. I have over 20 years of mental health and addictions experience in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

Do you have panic attacks with no obvious cause? Do you endure social or performance situations with great distress or avoid them altogether? Chronic worry or obsessive thoughts that you try to fend off with compulsive behaviors? Anxiety and related disorders can prevent you from leading the life you want. Often, your current efforts to cope with anxiety instead reinforce it and block you from more meaningful experiences. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, have published over 30 articles on the nature and treatment of anxiety, and the strategies I use can effectively remove those blocks and open yourself up to a healthier lifestyle.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have an audacious and thought provoking approach to treatment. My approach allows me to directly connect with clients in a manner that is comfortable and authentic. Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients.

"Though no one can go back and make a new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending" -CB. Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings, the history that produced them, and the changes you can make to feel more fully alive--to feel seen, to feel understood, to know that you are worthy of love and able to make deep connections with others. I believe in your ability to grow, heal, change. I ask you to be real, and I am real in return. I have your back, even when I might need to say what you don't want to hear. If you are interested in looking within and finding what truly matters to you, please reach out.
