About me

Hi, I'm Jamie! :)

Life can feel incredibly heavy, and you don’t have to carry it alone. With over 12 years of experience, I specialize in helping people find their footing when the ground feels shaky. Whether we are working through the complexities of anxiety, relationship changes, professional burnout, or the unique trauma of a health journey—as a breast cancer survivor, I truly understand the "medical fatigue" that comes with it—my goal is to provide a space where you can exhale.

How we’ll work together:
My approach is practical and collaborative. Using tools from CBT and DBT, we won’t just talk about the problems; we’ll work on tangible ways to help you feel more regulated and empowered. Making time in your life for you is incredibly important. When you just need a listening ear, I will be here. When you are looking for guidance or hoping to challenge your thinking patterns, I will be there to support you through that as well.

A little more about me:
I’m a parent, a coffee enthusiast, and a lover of the outdoors. When I’m not working, you can usually find me hiking, skiing, reading, or planning my next travel adventure. I know how humbling it is to "raise humans," and I bring that same grounded, real-world perspective to our sessions.

During the daytime hours, you can find me working in the education system as a school based social worker, but on the weekends and evenings, you can find me here to support you! I have years of experience supporting families and teens. My heart truly lies in supporting others through their unique life experiences.
