Hey! I'm James! I am a compassionate and culturally responsive therapist dedicated to creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. With years of experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum, I bring patience, adaptability, and a strengths-based perspective to each session. My own diverse and mixed background allows me to connect with clients from a wide range of identities and life experiences, fostering a therapeutic relationship grounded in authenticity and respect.
I utilize Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, integrating these approaches to help clients explore their personal stories, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical strategies for meaningful change. I particularly enjoy helping individuals identify and navigate cognitive distortions with thoughtful guided conversation.
I believe that meaningful progress begins when clients feel ready to engage in the process when there is openness, curiosity, and a willingness to explore new perspectives. Whether you are early in your journey or already on the path toward healing, I aim to meet you where you are and support you in moving toward a more empowered and fulfilling life.

I strive to create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where individuals feel comfortable sharing distressing thoughts and emotions over time, regardless of background. I am committed to an inclusive, affirming environment. I also prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, using initial sessions to foster trust and rapport before focusing on goals.

I utilize talk therapy as a primary approach, valuing the importance of each client's unique narrative. I believe that understanding a client's story is essential to identifying and working through stuck points, allowing for new perspectives, growth, and greater freedom to move forward. Often initial sessions will begin with motivational interviewing to lay the foundation to treatment.
