Through strength based approaches, she desires to provide strategies that helps clients hone their inert ability and inner strength when it comes to their desired treatment goals.

In her experience, adolescents often want a moment to step away from the challenges they struggle with, so Ms. James enjoys providing additional strategies through the form of cooking, art, games and those are to name a few. She believes providing her clients with techniques and coping methods they can engage in at home with their support system helps not only the clients but their system as a whole. She strives to educate herself further as she is still engaging in school. She is currently a culinary student, and one day wants to gain a degree in art therapy.
