Hello, I’m James, and thank you for being here. Whether you are new to therapy or have been sitting on the therapy chaise lounge for years, welcome! First off, there is no "perfect" way to do therapy and there is no "perfect" way to be a client. Frustrating, I know - let's talk about it! I strive to make my practice safe, comfortable, individualized and resourceful. Another core tenant of my practice that I find equally important: your agency/choice. You are the brain in the body, after all, and I will do my best to collaborate with you for achieving your aims (General response time: 48-72 hrs).

I’m an EMDRIA trained therapist; I’m qualified to use EMDR modalities. I hold a MSW which provides me with a more comprehensive lens on your history & present context. I'm a Clinical Supervisor & specialize in working with Therapists, LGBTQIA+, Neurospicey folks, & Sex/Kink/Identity support. Other informing concentrations: neuropsychology, neuroanatomy, etc.

I hope to have the privilege to work with you, hear your story, and provide you with some skills that may support you in better tackling the challenges that come your way, discovering the things you'd like to discover, and navigating the architecture of your unique experience. Your curiosity and your strength led you here, and for that, I congratulate you.
