Services and Service Philosophy:

 

                                                   I provide individual therapy and life coaching for people who seek to

          improve their overall life, mood, thinking, and behaviors (as well as                                                         couples therapy, family therapy, clinical supervision and training).                                                           As we engage more fully in our own lives, it becomes easier to find

                                                   our internal compass.   With clear direction, we can achieve our 

  goals.  Coaching and positive, constructive therapy can help us to                                                           gain clarity, build momentum, unleash old limits, and really soar. 

                                                   In addition to office sessions, phone sessions and work via Skype                                                        available as well as e-mail updates and check-ins for accountability

                                                   support in achieving desired outcomes.   My therapy and coaching                                                          approaches are active, include feedback, and focus on your                                                                      success.   "With Jim's encouragement, I have learned to soar."  - Jeff

To address these issues, we will engage in a collaborative professional working relationship for the sole purpose of co-creating genuine improvement in your life.  My focus is on helping you to be more fully engaged in your own life.  As Helen Keller said, "Security is an illusion, it does not exist in nature.  Life is a daring adventure..."   It is easy to go through life 

avoiding the adventure, wrapped up in anxious thoughts, stuck in old ways,

caught in an a down mood cycle, or simply not reaching as high as we are

capable of reaching.  My own life is a series of streches out of my own

comfort zone.  Professionally and personally, I look for opportunities to

broaden my range.  Yes, hesitation, fear, and doubt often come up and

say, "Stay here, this is comfortable and familiar."   I felt that and pushed

forward anyway.   Each time, someone was there to encourage me.   It

is by stretching, combined with trusting my own heart and surrounding

myself with caring, supportive people that my career has flourished, my

marriage thrives, and my life remains full and vibrant.  That is how I will

show up for you; fully committed to your cause, to helping you move ever

closer to the life you want, to the work that calls you, to relationships that

fulfill you, and to learning that stimulates and enriches you.
