ABOUT Live a Fuller Life with Improved Mental Health

  • BIO
  • EXPERIENCE AND CREDENTIALS

I am a former Big Law attorney who is now a psychotherapist focusing on working with lawyers and professionals who are navigating challenging lives and careers.  I get the struggle.  I’ve lived that life, and I believe in creating a non-anxious, non-judgmental environment of care and trust in which clients can open to the depths of their unconscious motivations and processes.  My hope is that all will be free to grow to become the fullest expression of their true selves.  

If you’re interested in growing beyond the limiting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are no longer serving you, schedule a consultation with me to take a step toward a new journey toward a fuller life.

  • Board Certified Psychotherapist in North Carolina since 2017, Certified Fee-Based Practicing Pastoral Counselor.
  • Ordained in the United Methodist Church since 2019, Associate Pastor of Wilson Temple UMC.
  • Certified Enneagram Professional, Chestnut Paes Enneagram Academy, since 2024.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown…. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency. --C. G. Jung

TESTIMONIALSIn Their Own Words

Dr. James has inspired me to look at my life through different perspectives. He seeks to understand me and desires to empower me toward charting the course of my life. I no longer feel stuck and instead feel more capable to impact my personal and professional relationships. I am growing to be more content and grateful.
