About

Jim

I am a psychotherapist, licensed as a clinical social worker with over thirty five years experience in the helping professions. I have explored the mind-body connection since 1981. I use healing and recovery models of therapy that respect my clients' strength and potential. I believe that every individual finds meaning in their own unique way, so I practice a broad variety of creative short term solution focused methods as well as in depth long-term approaches. I am available to consult with psychiatric and medical providers when indicated.

My therapeutic expertise integrates decades of training and experience to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's strengths and goals. I am a proficient and non-judgmental therapist with respect and unconditional positive regard for anyone who seeks help. I have a reputation for creating a safe and comfortable environment to entertain new possibilities and try out new behaviors.

Therapy is not one size fits all. I honor my clients as unique, with their own history, culture, values, traditions, and beliefs.

I know that psychotherapy is an important investment of a person or family’s time, energy, and money. I believe it should produce positive results.
