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.
I believe therapy should be a partnership. Many people see the issues in their lives, but do not know what to do with them. I work closely with you to understand what concerns you have from a holistic point of view, looking at all aspects of your life to gain a better understanding of what and why things are happening now.
Therapy is like dating; sometimes things just do or don't click. The first session is primarily spent on getting a great understanding of what brought you in, your history, your coping skills, parental and personal relationships, and everything in between. At that time, we will have a better understanding of what is going on from a holistic point of view.
