James Christensen, AMFT

My clients describe me as:

Compassionate, firm, assertive, and directive.

Something to know about my approach is:

Why do I feel like I’m walking on eggshells? How can I safely advocate for what I want? Why does desire fade in long-term relationships? How can I rekindle it?

Together, we will:

Why do I feel stuck in my marriage? How can I make marriage a place of freedom and passion? Why do I crave my partner’s approval? How can I learn to trust my own perception? Why do I hurt the people I love? How can I learn to love more fully?

I specialize in working with people who:

I have asked each of those questions in my own marriage, and I have helped many other couples find their own answers. My approach builds on the work of David Schnarch, Ernest Morrow, Esther Perel, Terrence Real, and Jennifer Finlayson-Fife.
