Therapy is not only helpful for treating mental illness or the most severe traumas; it can help with every aspect of life, from every day worries to the most devastating situations. My work for the past 10 years has involved helping children, teens, adults, and families find healing in difficult situations. This is my life's purpose, and I plan to continue this path by furthering my knowledge and providing high quality care to my clients. I have experience working with a broad range of disorders, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma, just to name a few.  I use a holistic approach in my work, where I consider not only mental factors, but also physical and spiritual factors. I combine aspects of traditional talk therapy with non-traditional approaches, including breathe therapy and meditation. I am certified in Eco-Systemic Family Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Empowering others to become leaders in their lives, no matter their life circumstances, is my goal for everyone who I am privileged to meet and work with. I welcome anyone who is in need of extra tools to help them along on their life journey. I look forward to joining you on your path to healing and accomplishing your goals.

I fully believe in the strength of the individual and the ability to improve relationships through communication and overcoming interpersonal problems with boundary building and insight into irrational thought patterns by using REBT and CBT skills. I work well with couples, individuals and adolescents with a focus on skills development and resilience.

Hi, my name is Jamie, and I am happy that you are considering counseling. I believe people naturally like to set goals and make positive changes to reach these goals. With support from a good provider, change is possible. My primary therapeutic orientation is a client-oriented, supportive, and eclectic therapeutic style.

I’m deeply passionate about working with teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence. I understand that navigating these challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. My clients often come to me feeling stuck and uncertain, desiring clarity and a sense of direction. They are eager to grow and find their path, yet they may not have the tools or support they need to make this vision a reality. My role is to walk alongside them with empathy and patience, helping them build confidence and resilience. Together, we work to uncover their unique strengths and develop strategies that honor their individual experiences and aspirations. My goal is to provide a supportive space where they can explore their feelings, discover their authentic selves, and move forward with hope and purpose.

If you’re struggling emotionally as a young adult, you’re not alone. Transitioning into adulthood has always been tough, but Generation Z is facing a fresh set of challenges. You’ve grown up in a world where post-9/11 security, recessions, and lockdown drills are the norm. Then, two crucial years of your life were upended by a global pandemic. It’s no wonder so many young adults are struggling with anxiety, depression, and despair. I will help you overcome these challenges. My approach is based in cognitive behavioral therapy, but my methodology is specifically adapted for young adults. I work with individuals aged 17–24, offering compassionate, pragmatic support. My advice will be tailored around your unique needs and goals. You will receive honest feedback, gentle pushes, and proven tools for building a better life. Together, we can find the solutions that work for you. Best of all, because I offer virtual appointments, you can get the help you need right from the comfort of your own home (or dorm room).
