Welcoming couples clients! Relationship problems are common, and you have taken a courageous step by seeking therapy. As one of the few psychologists specializing in couple therapy, I've supported hundreds of couples by providing effective, evidence-based treatments that scientific research has shown to bring significant and lasting improvement. My own research on relationships has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and featured here in Psychology Today, international media outlets such as Business Insider Germany, and New York Times Best Seller Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown.

I specialize in helping people adjust to unforeseen and unchosen situations or outcomes, including life-limiting illness (such as
cancer
), loss, and grief.
People who seek my services are ready to change their relationship to their fears; ease the grip of intense emotions; and learn tools to effectively respond to life's many challenges. I create a safe and welcoming environment to explore life events, beliefs, and/or symptoms that contribute to depression, anxiety or other states of distress or disconnection.

As a counselor for over 20 years, I get how overwhelming life can be. You might be wondering, "How can I go forward? Who am I now?" It might be hard to imagine you'll ever feel normal or happy again. You might wonder if it is even worth it. We'll look at your history to make sense of what happened, and how you got through it. Looking at how you've changed, and what you want now can be overwhelming. Together we can sort it out. As a
cancer
survivor I offer insight into navigating significant life changes, and options for growth. Figuring out who to lean on, and options to strengthen your spirituality can help with trauma, as well.

My clients struggle with various issues: anxiety, depression, anger, relationship challenges, divorce / break-ups, parenting concerns, medical challenges, etc. They come to me facing ongoing loneliness, sadness, and fear. My clients expect a compassionate space in which to explore their difficulties; unconditional positive regard from me to them. I honor clients where they are at and partner with them to facilitate the healing necessary to get them to where they want to be. My clients explore how their experiences in early childhood shaped how they show up in the world on a day to day basis, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Wouldn't it feel so freeing if you no longer felt trapped in the past? Wouldn't it feel empowering to understand why your body feels on-edge or shut down and learn techniques to feel calm and fully present? Upsetting images replay themselves in your head all of the time. You want to move on from those bad experiences, but you feel stuck. You might have a hard time asking for help. Perhaps you grew up with a parent who struggled with workaholism, addiction and/or mental illness. The coping tools you learned in childhood to keep yourself safe and afloat are starting to rust. It’s time for new skills to add to your self-care toolbox.

The foundation of effective and beneficial therapy is a good relationship. The relationship between therapist and client can provide an opportunity for working through difficult emotions and experiences, both past and present. I strive to develop a nonjudgmental partnership with each person I see in therapy, keeping in mind that every person and situation is unique. This allows us, together, to explore and understand the issues that bring you to therapy and how to begin to resolve them.

Hello reader. My name is James, and thank you for being here. I'd like to be a resource to you and support you. You might have a lot of questions or things to share, or you might not. Both are completely ok. There is no perfect way to do therapy and there is no perfect way to client. So, I hope for you less pressure and worry in exploring this curious thing called therapy. I strive to make my practice safe, comfortable, and supportive. Another core tenant of my practice that I find equally important: your leadership. You are the expert of you, even if it may not always feel that way. I'll do my best to support. (Response ~48-72 hrs)

When people think about addiction they often jump to abstinence. Of course, there are many situations when abstinence is necessary, but there are also many times when there is room for improvements and management without the need for complete avoidance. This is in part due to how many different substances or activities there are that can lead to what is essentially an addiction. Sugar, caffeine, sports, alcohol, food, video games, dating, social media, gambling, pornography, shopping, these all interact with our brains in ways that can lead to seriously interfering with our ability to enjoy what we most value.

Have you ever wondered what circumstances would look like if you felt welcomed, supported, and validated? All too often, we wait until we are unable to ask for help or life has gotten to the point of where we feel there is no hope, worth, or option to rebuild or heal ourselves. We may simply not be ready and that's okay! This may be a result of fear, negative experiences, trauma, loss, grief, etc. or maybe you just aren't sure it will help. These are questions we can work together to to explore.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
