About James

He offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for talking about stress, anxiety, anger, grief, addiction, and life changes. James acknowledges how hard it can be to ask for help and aims to support people as they take those first steps toward change.
With 29 years of experience, he brings steady clinical experience to practical concerns like sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, and coping after trauma. He listens for patterns in thinking and daily routines that keep problems stuck, and then works with people to try different ways of responding.
