Hello, I’m Jim. I’m a licensed mental health counselor based in Florida, and my practice is built on one simple foundation: people deserve a space where they can be understood, not judged.I take a calm, straightforward, and compassionate approach to therapy. My goal is to offer a steady environment where you can talk openly, make sense of what you’re carrying, and feel supported as you move toward real, lasting change. Over the years, I’ve learned that progress doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from honest conversations, practical tools, and feeling safe enough to show up exactly as you are.In our work together, we’ll move at your pace. We’ll look at patterns, build resilience, and sort out what’s getting in the way of the life you want. I’m solution-focused without rushing you, reflective without getting lost in the weeds, and always rooted in respect for your lived experience. Reaching out for therapy takes guts, and I take that seriously. My role is to walk alongside you with clarity, empathy, and a healthy dose of real-world perspective.It would be a privilege to get to know you and support you in finding steadiness, confidence, and a deeper sense of well-being.Education & LicensureMaster of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling; Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), FloridaAdditional training in evidence-based treatment for substance use, anxiety, and OCD-related disordersWhat motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?I was drawn to supporting autistic adults because so many of them navigate a world that doesn’t always slow down long enough to understand their experiences. Time and again, I saw intelligent, insightful, capable adults being misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked. I wanted to create a therapeutic space where their strengths are recognized, their communication styles are respected, and their challenges are met with genuine understanding—not judgment. Helping autistic adults build lives that fit them (instead of forcing themselves into someone else’s blueprint) is deeply meaningful work for me.How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?I believe people thrive when their abilities are honored—not overshadowed by what they’ve been told is “wrong” with them. My approach focuses on what clients naturally do well, how they process the world, and the unique skills they bring to their relationships, careers, and communities. From there, we build strategies that align with their strengths rather than fight against them. It’s incredibly powerful to watch clients embrace their identity, gain confidence, and realize they don’t need to fit anyone else’s mold to live a meaningful, fulfilling life
