Hello. I'm James and I appreciate that you are considering me to be your therapist. The decision to begin therapy for the first time or with a new treatment professional requires strength, courage and commitment. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, financial pressures, addiction or any other obstacle that prevents you from living the life that you want, finding the right therapist for you is an important part of getting yourself back to where you would like to be.

Does the world feel like it has suddenly become difficult to manage?

For some, emotions are becoming more intense and its causing significant problems in relationships, both professional and personal. It can seem like it is impossible to navigate, but there is hope!

Life is complicated and despite our best efforts, everyone struggles at times. I can help you find healthy ways of coping, being more effective in your relationships and feeling better overall. I'm a licensed therapist who has been working with children, adults, and families since 1999. I have years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples at various clinical settings.

Wherever you are, you've decided you want to feel better and be better, and now you've shown the courage to seek help. My work with you will be collaborative, caring, and non-judgmental. I will help you reconnect to your inner-resources and strengths, to build new coping skills and problem-solving strategies, and to then apply them to live a life that feels more thriving than merely existing.

At THWC it's our mission to create a soothing, client-focused, healing-centered environment, committed and focused on you as a whole person.

I am dedicated to helping each of my clients based on their own individual needs. Everyone experiences stress, grief, anxiety, depression etc, differently and therefore needs to be treated according to what will work best for them. There are many myths about therapy and I am focused on debunking those. I DO NOT think you are crazy and I cannot read your mind. Therapy is hard work, but worth it. I want to see you get better and live the life you want and deserve.

An ideal client for me is one who is looking for some direction. They are open to trying suggested coping skills or ways of thinking and perhaps just need some empathy, reassurance and professional insight in order to move forward in their lives or even to move in a new direction.
