Hi there, I'm Jamie!

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe in the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship to help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life. I use evidence-based approaches including internal systems work, mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapy.

My focus

I work with adults who are motivated to enhance their mental well-being but may lack the necessary tools for growth. I support those navigating life transitions or experiencing trauma symptoms. My clients often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about various aspects of life.

My approach

I use strength-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed practices. As an IFS-informed therapist, I help you identify and communicate with different parts of yourself, exploring and understanding these parts. I'll teach you mindfulness techniques to notice how your mind and body work together to create well-being.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, encouraging, and grounded in active listening. I'm intuitive and responsive to your emotional needs. Whether you need empathy, reassurance, or motivation, I meet you where you are with compassion and respect. My goal is to foster trust and connection, making you feel seen and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with curiosity about people—their stories, struggles, and what helps them heal. I realized what drew me most was the power of being truly heard. I found myself naturally drawn to spaces where I could offer presence, empathy, and support.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a collaborative, compassionate process. Rather than imposing goals, I invite you into a partnership where we explore what change might look like. I ask open-ended, strength-based questions to help you clarify what you want to work toward.

Our first session

We'll begin by getting to know each other. I'd love to learn about your background, interests, and what brought you to therapy. We'll discuss the specific challenges you're facing—share as much or as little as you're comfortable with. I'll explain my approach and methods, ensuring you feel informed and empowered.
