Dr. James received her Master's in Clinical Psychology in 2013 and her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2022. Over the last ten years, she has curated specialties in complex trauma (CPTSD), dysfunctional family systems, disrupted attachments (youth and adults), self-harm, body dissatisfaction, college student mental health, and individuals/family members of an individual living with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Every person has their own unique psychological fingerprint, requiring a thorough yet delicate assessment process to identify the root of their needs. In my ten years of clinical work, I have found that the therapeutic relationship is essential to one's success in treatment. I value fostering an emotionally safe environment, starting with allowing folks to move at a comfortable pace as we identify and work towards goals together.
Given my areas of expertise, therapeutic goals can range from quantitative to qualitative measures. For all folks, my overarching goal is that they will walk away from our work together feeling relief from the symptoms which initially brought them in, along with a greater sense of agency over their life and internal security.
