ABOUT JAMES

James believes that healing and flourishing happens when we have the freedom and safety to be ourselves in relationship. He is passionate about facilitating safe, compassionate spaces where one can freely express and explore their lives without judgment and is excited to accompany others in a collaborative process of meaningful change. He is presently completing his Master of Arts in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Martin Luther University College.

When he’s not at work, James enjoys diving into a good book, film photography, playing sports, and prioritizing quality time with his family and friends.

AREA'S OF CARE

James has worked with clients who have faced a variety of challenges in their lives, including depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, identity, shame, and spirituality. No matter their experience, he seeks to maintain a posture that is open, curious, and deeply relational. While his therapeutic approach is person-centred and integrative, he is drawn to experiential models of therapy that focus on emotions, attachment, and the body’s innate capacities for healing. He is trained in the integration of evidence-based models including AEDP, EFT, and Narrative Therapy, and works with individuals and couples.
