Meet James

James is a dually licensed Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of mental health experience. He is dedicated to helping individuals of all ages improve their wellbeing, resilience, and satisfaction in life. He approaches psychiatric treatment with integrative evidence-based practices, collaborative treatment planning, and trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.
His approach is grounded in common sense and focuses on treating the whole person—mind, body, and environment from a systems perspective. He strives to help patients build confidence through setting realistic goals (skills/insight/supports) so they can experience meaningful improvement in daily functioning, relationships, and life satisfaction. His approach to medication management is rooted in the philosophy that “less is more” and that psychopharmacology is just one tool among many to improve the overall wellbeing of clients.
