James is absolutely amazing. It’s my first experience with therapy, so I can’t compare him to others. I feel that he genuinely cares about me, even after just meeting recently. His experience has shown in each of our sessions, and the pace at which we are going couldn’t be any better

If you are reading this-thank you for considering me.
I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 2017 after entering the therapy field as a Naval Drug and Alcohol Counselor in 2000.
I have worked with clients in a variety of settings over that timespan to include community mental health, private practice, group, family and individual venues.
I have worked with clients with many concerns including anger control, substance abuse and related issues, marital, parenting, depression/anxiety, and others.
My approach is primarily client centered, cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe that we all are able to reach reasonable and realistic goals when it comes to coping with the challenges that life presents.
I hope that you discover a supportive partner on your journey to your best self.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
