About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Texas with over 13 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. My post-grad studies focused primarily on Family Systems. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction, grief and loss, and end of life issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am a Christian counselor, and as such my approach to the therapeutic process is colored through the lens of a biblical worldview.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

I appreciate the feedback. The first counselor I have worked with who is not just there for a vent session. He is actually providing feedback - thank you!

James has cared for my journey of healing and coping with anxiety in so many ways. He has listened and has been empathetic but also has challenged me to go beyond my comfort zones. He has been a God send and I will be continuing to seek his expertise and guidance through this journey.
