Hello, I’m James.

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my work. Regardless of the specific reasons that have brought you here, there’s a good chance that you share in the common thread that connects people with my work: an undeniable yearning to experience of your human capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. Unsurprisingly, it was my very own sense of yearning for personal transformation out of decades of depression and anxiety that has led to my present work as an explorer and practitioner of these fields as a psychotherapist and psychedelic facilitator.

As you probably know, embarking on the pursuit of healing and self-actualization entails a variety of unpleasant surprises, not least of which is the confusing, misleading, and often contradictory advice that is endemic to the “wild west” of self-help, psychology, and spiritual healing fields. In attempting to navigate this landscape, an element of tragedy emerges in the profound difficulty many of us experience in attempting to find the help we need - and cannot find - often when we need it most.

My own challenges in finding the help I needed has been one of the most significant influences in my approach as a practitioner. It has resulted in a therapeutic style that celebrates the mysterious and inexplicable elements of our human experience while remaining firmly rooted in the ground of practical reality. Above all else, my approach is rooted in the conviction that it is the quality of our relationships rather than our consumption of information that determines the extent to which our process unfolds in a significant and meaningful way.

In reflecting on my own personal experience navigating this path, I feel compelled to share the most important (and painful) lesson that I’ve taken away from my experience: there is nothing more important than the people you choose to trust in accompanying you on our journey. I encourage you to take the time to explore my work, connect with me on X, and schedule a free consultation if you’d like to explore working together. I’m looking forward to hearing from you and, in the meantime, wishing you all of the best.

    C. S. - Conneticut

  • "James challenged me to discuss, question, and look at aspects of myself that I had not wanted to, all while providing me with tremendous support and grace. James respected my journey and repeatedly told me that it was an honor for him to be a part of it. However, it was my honor to have him as a trusted guide who led me through the most difficult journey of my life, one of self-love and self-discovery.”

    J.R. - Boston

  • "His open and compassionate responses to my experience, allowed me the confidence to share without judgement. James respects boundaries, fosters mutual respect, encourages expressing needs, opinions, and feelings in a direct, and honest way that opens the door for self-realization and healing."

    R. R. - Texas

  • "James provided a safe and empathetic environment for me to explore perceptions of my consciousness and the mystical experiences open to me after dosing with psilocybin. Offering a calm, unobtrusive presence, lending an ear, talking through my deep challenges with meaningful interpretation. I appreciated his knowledge of the therapeutic relationship as well as the unexpected nature of psychedelic experiences and spiritual intelligence. James balanced empathetic listening, “doing by not doing”, equally supporting my moments of serious soul searching and moments of silliness with both reverence for the medicine and mindful flexibility.

    B. G. - New York

  • "James immediately made me feel welcome and safe, his pure presence and stoic nature needed no words to convey what I needed to trust him with my physical and mental wellbeing. Upon speaking with James I learned a depth of love and compassion that helped me transform my internal world. My only regret with James is that our time together was so short."
