I use a strength based approach as a therapist. Working with adults, children, teens and families. Regardless of age many of the clients I have present with adjustment issues related to transitions they are experiencing in their lives. Clients often present with symptoms of anxiety and or depression resulting in a decrease in quality of life. Some are dealing with family communication challenges, a recent death or have a loved one who is sick or with a chronic illness. Clients can have a history of mental illness and others have relational challenges both personally, professionally or in school finding it hard to succeed.

Now Accepting OHP - Care Oregon insurance (HealthShare, Jackson Care Connect, and Columbia Pacific). My approach to therapy is holistic, providing support that nurtures the complex being you are, and acknowledging that physical, social, and spiritual wellness all contribute to positive mental health and personal growth. I focus on helping clients build resilience, hone their strengths, and become more attuned to their inner wisdom.

A person considering counseling is already making the first step of trying to achieve, or return to, a healthier and happier equilibrium. I believe that “loosening up” and releasing the many things we hold, particularly unconsciously, allow us to activate that capacity and return to, or discover, a healthier state of being. Top-down, this would involve uncovering our various thought patterns, reactions, and story that we have about ourselves. Bottom-up, it involves noticing and feeling - the various ways our body is in relation to how we are mentally.

I provide individual therapy for people who are feeling stuck and need support understanding how to get through a tough time. Many people benefit from an outside perspective for navigating life transitions, coping with stress, or dealing with family conflict and other important relationships. Often people struggle with conflicting needs as they evaluate their lives and relationships. When life feels out of control, I can provide compassionate guidance for gaining self-awareness and building confidence. Individuals can learn healthy communication, boundaries, and effective coping tools. Therapy can bring calm to the chaos.

Hello, my name is James, and I believe that relationships and connection are at the core of healing. I address trauma through a blend of cognitive, emotional, and somatic approaches to empower my clients to transform their relationship with themselves and their past. My clients often live life with an emphasis on adventure and spend time in the outdoors. They might live life at a fast pace and are seeking a holistic roadmap to a more balanced life, grappling with issues like anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma.

Self awareness and connection can heal. My practice is a place where we can build safety and vulnerability, and work together to help you better understand yourself. Therapy is not always easy, but here you can regain a sense of control and create momentum.

I am interested in helping people with primary attachment issues. I work with couples dealing directly with their attachment problems with each other. I work with individuals who are looking internally to figure out their obstacles to developing intimate partnerships. In both my individual and couples work I usually explore the family of origin as one source of understanding and improving love relationships. My style is collaborative and exploratory while I maintain a hopefully transparent point of view. I look at psychotherapy as an unusual conversation where both people are focused on one to help that person grow and change.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP! It's never easy, but when you do take that first, safe step into healing and transformation, you will find the energy for change and lasting solutions. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if we're right for each other. I specialize in anxiety and depression and their effects on relationships, including marriage, partnerships, family, and the workplace.

Whether you would like to improve your relationships with partners, friends, or family, explore feelings of grief in your own way without pressure to "get back to normal already," or find that sense of self and purpose that you might be missing, I provide a safe and confidential environment to process thoughts and feelings and gain insight, feedback and understanding.

Are you looking for help with your relationships, have past trauma, anxiety, depression, or experiencing life transitions or grief? All of these impact how we feel about ourselves and our world, and can leave us feeling emotionally tired. I work with clients to untangle it all, find strengths, unlock stuck relationships, better understand and address anxieties, and practice new ways of thinking and being. Come learn more effective ways to communicate, while using better boundaries. Together, we create change based on new, healthy thoughts and beliefs, build self-esteem, and develop more fulfilling relationships.

Welcome. I am a clinician with 24 plus years of clinical practice and extensive experience with a number of somatic therapies. I specialize in working with complex trauma but, generally speaking, my clients seek support with relationships or overwhelming emotional states that impact some aspect of their lives.

If you are looking to improve your mood, friendships and relationships, ease tensions in work and family life, and resolve long-running issues that may be holding you back, I would look forward to working with you. This work takes attachment, co-regulation and the social neurobiology of emotions seriously as foundations of mental health. With the help of other trauma-specific techniques, we can also work towards peace and fulfillment in the aftermath of trauma, whether single-incident or chronic and complex.

Whether you are new to seeking therapy or are well-versed with the process, I am committed to creating a warm and respectful space to support your sense of self and potential for growth. I work with individuals including children, teens, and adults. Do you find it difficult to cope with the challenges of family, work, or school? Has a recent circumstance caused you to feel lost or uncertain? Have your past traumas distorted your self-view as someone who is broken or unworthy? You can heal and I’m here to help. Together, we’ll build upon the talents and skills you already have to reach your future goals.

Talk therapy is a brave endeavor and can be extremely creative and rewarding. The most important part of my approach is creating an effective working partnership with you, so that you can get the most out of therapy. Ongoing distress in our lives can bring us to therapy, and with good work can lead us to both acceptance and long-term psychological flexibility and wellness. Many people find this path to be an exciting and generative one. It can even be fun at times. With my training from around the world, I specialize in creating unique clinical formulations to aid clients in fostering shifts in their lives.

My favorite thing to do is support people. Being human can feel difficult and confusing at times. Communication can feel even trickier. I support my clients with lovingkindness and unlimited compassion. I am vibrant and down-to-earth. I definitely want all of my clients to feel safe, heard, and grounded. I specialize in transitions, anxiety, depression, sex, couples, parenting, divorce, insecurities, etc. I have a special place in my heart for the perinatal community. I have been working with new families for almost 20 years.
