Together, you and I will unlock your “best self” through consistent non-judgmental exploration, compassion, development of self-awareness and commitment!

You’ve been working hard and pushing through the instability and frustrations of a global pandemic for years now. Maybe you’ve even recognized the value of mental health, attempted to set boundaries at work, or added self-care tasks to your to-do list. From the outside, so much in your life seems to be going “right” but deep down you’re exhausted. Your efforts to leave work at work and to listen to a meditation app in the morning aren’t cutting it. You just aren’t happy and you’re not sure why. You may have even been to therapy before and learned some decent strategies, but didn’t get the deep results you were hoping for. I can help

You may be carrying pain that no one sees—old trauma, a sense of unworthiness, or the exhaustion of navigating life while feeling disconnected from yourself and others. These struggles can leave you questioning your strength or wondering if real change is possible. I understand that feeling deeply. My own path to becoming a therapist was shaped by surviving childhood trauma and chronic illness—experiences that taught me just how much courage it takes to move through pain. That lived experience fuels my belief in healing, and it shapes the steady, compassionate presence I offer in therapy.

Are you worried you’re a bad person and constantly replaying your past mistakes? Are you noticing yourself making choices that don’t reflect who you really are or push people away? When people have low self-esteem or a lot of self-criticism, they may believe they’re not even worthy of asking for help, so the fact you’re here looking for a therapist is really big. It means you have hope that things can get better. I have that hope too, and if we decide to work together I will hold it for you even when it feels like you’re losing grip on it. Dealing with shame or guilt can be debilitating, but you don’t have to work through it alone.

Hi there, I'm James! Amazing transformations can occur when you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable in an environment that cultivates growth and exploration. As your therapist, I'll seet you with compassion and non-judgment, providing a space to nurture growth as we collaboratively explore your relationships, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I use an eclectic approach to therapy as everyone comes in with their own unique story. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape unhelpful thoughts while building skills to manage your emotions. Further, I have extensive experience in trauma work.

From the outside, it may look like you are functioning fine, but internally you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. ADHD, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can quietly affect every area of life. Maybe communication keeps breaking down, the same arguments repeat, or you feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way. You do not need another place to simply vent — you want real change, deeper connection, and a life that feels fulfilling again for yourself and your relationships.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of California. I completed my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) with an emphasis in Military Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. I'm also a combat veteran, and I've experienced some of the darkest of days during my time in service (was overhead the shootdown of EN 17). My goal as a therapist is to help people navigate through their toughest moments in life and to restore hope when it seems like it no longer exists.
