I currently specialize in working with adolescents and adults interested in gaining awareness about how past experiences may impact their current emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Additionally, they may be interested in learning new approaches to address various life scenarios. I am also interested in enhancing the quality of someone’s life through wellness and lifestyle changes.

I currently focus my practice on helping individuals (children/adolescent and adults) and couples to overcome anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, life/family changes, and parenting issues. The goal is for each person to use self-compassion and personal connection in learning how to identify strengths and resilience to face the challenges of life.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults interested in gaining greater self awareness of how past experiences may impact their current functioning. Additionally, they may be interested in learning new ways to cope with life’s challenges in positive and healthy ways. The goal is for the client to explore all parts of themselves, both in and out of the counseling room. My approach to counseling is eclectic, meaning I use a multitude of theories in my practice based on what would serve my client best, as you are all unique individuals.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where we can collaborate on identifying current strengths, enhance resilience, create usable and healthy coping skills, and help clients better understand where they have been, where they are, and where they want to be. 

In our sessions, you can expect evidence-based techniques, collaboration, creativity, open dialogue, and humor. 

The first step is reaching out.  You do not have to navigate life challenges alone.

Jamie is currently under the supervision of Alicia Blackley LPCC-S, E.1500014-SUPV

As a holistic mental health clinician, I specialize in supporting adults who are ready to reconnect with their inner child, regulate their nervous system, and shift their mindset to align with their highest self.
