Hello! I’m a professional counselor licensed in Connecticut with over 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. Clients come to me for support with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma, and parenting issues.
I also have specialized experience in adoption and foster care, as well as working with first responders and individuals in high-stress roles.
My style is collaborative, down-to-earth, and practical. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, honest, and human. I partner with clients to create goals that actually fit their lives—not a one-size-fits-all plan. I bring empathy and humor into the room, and I’m comfortable offering gentle (and sometimes direct) challenges when they’re helpful for growth.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will support you, laugh with you when appropriate, and help you make meaningful changes, I’d be glad to work with you.

Jamie is an amazing listener and was willing to challenge some of my own thoughts about myself when I needed it. She offers new perspective in a calm and inviting way. I really enjoyed our conversations.

Jamie has been a wonderful person to help me thru some hard times. Sometimes all we need is someone to listen and she is that person and gives some great knowledge of what to try to do for oneself. I strongly recommend her.

Outstanding therapist
Written on Jul 29, 2022 after therapy with Jamie for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and adhd
She was nice. She was honest and said I needed additional care that she couldn't provide - she wanted to help me and not her business. I am now canceling because I need additional services that BetterHelp can't provide.

Before Jamie began helping me, I was suffering from anxiety, depression, and loneliness. I felt stuck and did not know how to get myself out of that state. Jamie helped me understand the root causes of my depression and gave me the step-by-step tools to pull out of that black hole and learn to grow and get better. She is an empathetic listener and offers proactive advice. She never judges you or forces you to go further than what you are comfortable doing. Jamie always was always flexible in scheduling our sessions, mainly when I lived overseas and in a different time zone. I am forever grateful for the guidance she has given me.
