James specializes in exploring the role of spirituality in daily life. He enjoys talking with clients through their concerns around meaning, ethics, and beliefs about themselves and the world. He provides support to individuals questioning their religious upbringing, as well as those who are interested incorporating mindfulness to become more grounded in the present moment.

James is also passionate about supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. He takes a collaborative approach, coordinating with treatment team members, to provide close care through social skills, family interactions, and sensory difficulties.

Message to clients

My philosophy of psychotherapy is that 'everything works for someone and nothing works for everyone.' I tailor my approach to your needs to you as an individual. I look for strengths that can help you resolve your challenges wherever they may be found. Often, what we see as problems can also be sources of strength and resourcefulness and I bring that thinking into the work I do with all of my clients. I focus on solutions when they are your focus and I offer support when that is what you need. I work with a variety of treatment approaches. I have done classical Psychoanalytic work with a couch and notepad, and I have helped patients build life skills outside an office setting. I think a doctrinaire approach is nearly always counterproductive and I will do whatever you find effective. Psychotherapy is a dialogue, and I welcome and thrive on the feedback of my clients to find what will make psychotherapy useful and conducive to growth.
