Jamie uses a mind and body holistic approach to challenge clients and provide feedback. As a relational therapist, Jamie believes herself - along with the client - are a part of the therapeutic process and together work towards making a therapeutic alliance to reach common goals and promote healing.

Jamie believes everyone has a natural resilience to heal from trauma, loss, and unexpected setbacks, however stories created about who we are can get in the way. They tell us we are not good enough, that we will fail, that we are not safe. They disconnect us from others, the world around us, and the goals we seek, they wreak havoc in our bodies. Together, Jamie works to partner with a client to make sense of and transform these stories, allowing for growth and connection. She feels that even our adversities can be a source of strength and an opportunity to better ourselves.
Jamie’s specialties include trauma/survival states, working with the stress response + nervous system regulation, and loss and grief. In addition she has a particular interest in working with those that identity as self- partnered/uncoupled/single.
