About me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 18 years of experience in the mental health field. The majority of my experience has been working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma. I use a very humanistic and client-centered approach to help clients to feel they can share thoughts and feelings safely and free from judgement. I understand that asking for help and facilitating change in your life takes a lot of courage. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I am here as a resource to support you through achieving your goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In the first session with a client, my primary goal would be to begin to establish a positive relationship, hear your specific concerns and challenges and to help you identify your treatment goals. I believe that therapy should be done both positively and collaboratively. To this end, I will begin by asking specific questions, assisting you in identifying your strengths, and asking you to share your motivation and goals for treatment. Together we will develop a plan for treatment to address your goals and needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my biggest strengths is my ability to connect with others and provide empathy and understanding. As well as taking a strengths-based approach to helping clients through their individual needs.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have considerable experience working with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression and trauma. One of my greatest strengths is to help clients recognize their strengths and to use them as a tool to help them through current challenges they are facing. I also have significant experiencing using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which assists in providing understanding of internal thoughts and feelings and developing specific tools and interventions to reduce symptoms and create positive changes.

I am still currently seeing Jamie, but ever since the first session she has made me feel comfortable and welcomed. I am a pretty open book, but there are parts of my life that have been a struggle to share and she makes it very easy to communicate what I’ve been through. She offers solutions, but more than that she’s always an ear for me to talk to, and I just feel like she really listens to me. She brings things to light in you that you may not have really seen in yourself before.
