Born at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton’s Naval Hospital and raised in North Coastal San Diego County, he is the son of World War II and Korean War veteran parents. With a strong swimming and athletic background—and a passion to be of service to those in need—he became a career Ocean Lifeguard Supervisor / Training Supervisor / EMT and POST Senior Master Advanced FTO Police Officer in Orange County, California.
As a result of both public safety professions, he has hands-on street credibility and provides world-class counseling to sworn and non-sworn emergency responders alike.

He provided post-traumatic stress support for the Butte County Sheriff’s Department for the 2018 “Camp Fire” (Paradise, California) wildland fire.
He has a teamwork approach to goal setting and session direction and has solid training and experience in working with trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, divorce recovery, anger, stress, childhood issues, emotional abuse, and pornography/substance recovery:
“I have learned there is nothing more painful than a broken heart or a crushed spirit. My style of therapy is very relational, and I help clients explore ways to slow down, take a step back, stabilize, and relaunch in healthy new directions.”
James is the Co-host of the podcast “H.A.L.T. and Call for Backup” with Mike Koch on Positive Connections Radio / Mental Health NewsRadio Network:
