(she/her)
Hi, I'm Jamie. I have been a mental health therapist for over 10 years. I practice as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California and previously as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I earned my Masters in Counseling and Community Psychology from The Sage College in Albany, New York. I believe in creating a safe, compassionate, judgement free space for my clients to work on the things that are most important to them. My mantra in my personal life is "Remember the Goal" and I carry that philosophy into my work. I work with clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I would love to help you through your healing journey.
You will be welcomed with an open mind, empathy and mindfulness. I will meet you wherever you are at. We will spend our first few sessions getting to know one another, exploring your wants, needs and goals. I will answer any questions you may have. Making sure that you are comfortable and that I am a fit for you are my main priorities. When we have established mutual respect and comfort, we will be well positioned to begin working toward your goals.
I provide a warm and empathetic environment. I am flexible in being able to employ different approaches that best suit each client's needs and personality. Every client is unique and should be treated with an approach that fits the qualities that make them special, rather than with a one-size-fits-all plan. I have lived a number of different experiences across the country and bring my diverse perspectives to every session.
I work with individuals who are navigating the many emotional layers of the journey into motherhood—whether that means trying to conceive, facing infertility, adjusting to pregnancy, or moving through the postpartum period. While motherhood can be deeply meaningful, it can also bring unexpected feelings of grief, anxiety, overwhelm, and isolation that are not talked about nearly enough. Maternal mental health is incredibly important, yet so many women find themselves silently carrying emotions they feel they should be able to handle on their own.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My approach to therapy is person-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe that each individual is the expert of their own experience, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. I meet you where you are—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing support during a time of change. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a way that feels manageable and meaningful. Using CBT, I help clients build awareness of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, while also incorporating a trauma-informed lens that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will move at a pace that feels right for you.
