Find your voice & express it authentically.
Hi, I’m James. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, and proud owner of Natura Psychotherapy, PLLC.
I believe in affirming what it is like to exist. We are all imperfect humans, and that is okay. After all, we are typically doing the best with what we have available. However, we can all pick up behaviors along the way that don’t suit us, such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, and negative self-talk. Life is already difficult enough, and these sometimes only add to it.
In therapy, I embrace existential themes that are intrinsically important to clients, such as autonomy, isolation, and responsibility, as they work to take actions in-line with values that matter to them the most. Because I also believe everyone is unique with how they relate to the world, I embrace a phenomenological position to who you are, what makes sense to you, and how you understand reality. I look forward to learning more about your worldview! Learn more about my specific therapeutic approach, here.

On creativity.
I believe that everyone has a creative voice that should be celebrated and cultivated. Whether you are an artist or musician, poet or philosopher, or you prefer to lean into your creative energy with how you dress or enter a room—I encourage everyone to find something that speaks to them, and do that consistently.
Outside of the therapy office, I lean into my creative voice as much as possible. I identify as neurodivergent, and enjoy writing of all types, reading, recording and mixing music, 35 mm photography (super amateur), playing retro video games (Gamecube at the moment), and being a doting cat dad to two amazing kitties.
