Even when we have tremendous anxiety and pain, the strength and resilience we desire already reside within us. During times of stress, grief or uncertainty, it is common to forget this and to adopt maladaptive styles of coping and communicating that tend to deepen our distress. Sometimes we fall back into negative thinking based on faulty core beliefs about ourselves and the world. I will hold space for you with empathy and non-judgment. You will be seen, you will be heard, and you will be supported in your growth.

Although deciding to enter or re-enter therapy is often a difficult decision, it can be the best decision of your life. I am a firm believer that people enter therapy when they are using every skill they know to help themselves feel better or help a situation improve and their efforts are met with failure.

I'm James, an LPC with over a decade of experience. Yet, in our sessions, you're the expert because you've lived your life, experiencing what works and what doesn't.

I adopt a Client-Centered Approach, offering a non-judgmental, safe, warm, and accepting space. By understanding your challenges and their significance to you, we'll collaboratively develop the tools you require to achieve your goals.
