As a colleague familiar with Jim's work, I know him to be a compassionate, ethical, competent and dedicated therapist. He is trained and experienced in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and I also has expertise in somatic therapies and treatment of anxiety. I feel very comfortable referring to him and recommend him highly.
Jim is a warm, gentle and empathic therapist. He exhibits a genuine caring and is able to see issues clearly. Jim has been a trusted colleague for 29 years. I strongly recommend him. He is especially helpful with anxiety and with couples and relationship issues.
I found Jim to be a therapist that I could trust and feel at ease to talk to, which really helped me get to the important things I had to deal with. I've found that it is so very important to find someone that I can trust and work with to deal with life's challenges. Jim has helped me get through some very difficult times.
Jim is a very thoughtful, conscientious clinician. I highly recommend him and can speak confidently of his care, skill, and insightfulness. He has extensive training in Hakomi, EMDR, and EFT -- and applies them with heart and clarity.
