Hello, my name is James. I’m a California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience providing psychotherapy to youth, adults, and families, to help them feel empowered, engaged, and most of all, accepted in this world.
I am a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed therapist with an extensive clinical background in treating trauma with a strong emphasis on the connection between one’s environment, brain, and nervous system. I tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual’s need. I find that with hardships there can be valuable moments that can truly strengthen one's identity and purpose in life. My goal is to help you build insight, take charge of your life, and heal. In session, I exert patience, thoughtfulness, and understanding. I also have experience working with law enforcement partners.
Above all, connection and safety are the pillars of my practice. I welcome clients ages 12+ to experience a safe, non-judgmental space where they can feel respected and heard. I also provide training for schools/agencies on Neurodiversity. Please contact me to speak briefly about your needs and concerns. Take good care and I look forward to hearing from you!
