YOUR PERSONALIZED MILLENNIAL THERAPIST

Hello! I’m Jamie

My practice was born out of my passion for wanting to support millennials and new & expecting moms who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and life transitions.

I’ve wanted to be a therapist since I was in middle school. I was inspired by my own experience being on the other side of the couch and learning that there are strategies and solutions to finding relief. I’m here to partner with you in learning these tools and finding lasting change.

I've worked hard to create the kind of welcoming, non-judgmental therapy environment where I'd want to be a client. Millennials & moms come to me looking for a therapist who is affirming, warm, & most importantly, collaborative. I support people by providing a space where you can open up about all of the challenging and confusing emotions you're going through and develop new skills that will help you find relief. I'll push you to be your best self as well. Above all, I am prepared to dive into — and sit in — the "uncomfortable" alongside you.

On a personal note, I play guitar mediocrely and have been learning the ukulele as a form of self-care. I love to watch all things horror, enjoy playing video games, have purchased many plants but have more of a brown thumb, and spent a lot of time outside walking my dog, Ted.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is engaging individuals as the expert of their own experiences, values, & identities. I come from an exploratory, client-centered perspective while holding a confidential & neutral space. I make sure that you set the pace throughout our collaboration. In order for us to have an authentic connection in our work together, I create space to acknowledge our intersectional identities. I offer empathy & validation alongside reflecting, offering direct feedback, and respectfully challenging beliefs that might be getting in the way of your success and happiness.

I believe there’s always room to be more informed, and I welcome opportunities to grow clinically. Currently, I have an extensive toolbox to support you in connecting with yourself, and am informed by multiple modalities and frameworks:

  • Trauma-informed
