You are not your problems. 

You might have problems (who doesn’t?) but hey — pay attention — you have so much more than that. You ARE so much more than that. The truth is, you are a person who is deeply, perpetually, OKAY.

Pain can become wisdom. Conflict is a catalyst toward connection. No matter what’s going on now, you’re going to be okay.

Individual Counseling

I work primarily with Internal Family Systems, developed by Richard Schwartz, which says that we have no bad parts only parts that are trying to help.

The key is to have our real Self in charge of things and to manage the healing process. This takes some self understanding but it brings very powerful ways to heal old wound.

IFS is holistic because it deals with mind body and spirit and each of those arenas is a powerful resource for healing. The work occurs in the session also occurs between sessions. This is a great way for clients to feel empowered.

Couples Counseling

Marriage is many things… and sometimes it can feel like all those things are problems. 

We often think of marriage (or any committed relationship) as the merging of two lives into one. But the truth is, there are three components to a healthy relationship: yours (your partner), mine (yourself), and ours (the relationship itself). Like an equilateral triangle, each element is just as crucial as the other two.

Pastoral Counseling

A spiritual practice isn’t necessarily about one religion or another. It’s a connection to something larger than yourself. 

If faith is important to you, I can certainly work within that. But if it’s not? Well, I’m not gonna throw Bibles at you.

TREATING CANCER

A new subspecialty is working with persons who have cancer. In a recent bout with radiation treatment for prostate cancer I realized the power that can come out of naming cancer as a part not just as an enemy. When seen as a part we begin to ask the what the cancer is trying to do, what it’s trying to hide what it’s hoping to heal. This takes a minute to get there but it can be very powerful. I found that there were old deep wounds that, despite all the training and therapy I’ve had, I still had to deal with. I uncovered deep levels of emotional healing and felt very strong immediately and I knew I was going to be OK.

I don’t pretend that everyone’s going to be cured by working with me but I do believe that we can get to the emotional roots that are the source of the cancer. That takes away much of the power of the cancer has to be destructive. So if you want to come on that journey with me, I’d be happy to take it with you.

Meets People where they're at

Jim is a fantastic therapist who really spends time meeting people where they’re at. Along with listening and providing support he’ll encourage self reflection and guide you through whatever you’re dealing with. Jim truly helps people find connection in our world when we couldn’t feel more separated from our communities.

LET’S WORK TOGETHER

The therapeutic relationship is founded on trust and acceptance. It can be scary to place your trust in a therapist, especially if it’s your first time.
