About Jamie
She draws from several therapy styles to fit each person's needs. That can include client-centered work that prioritizes the person's goals and pace. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills.
Jamie emphasizes collaboration in sessions. She helps people build self-awareness, try new perspectives, and strengthen skills they can use outside of therapy. Sessions focus on practical changes and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her experience includes supporting people with mood disorders, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and stress related to career or caregiving. She also lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas for those navigating life transitions later in life.
People who come to Jamie can expect a mix of listening, skill-building, and real-world problem solving. She aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship that both challenges and encourages growth. The work is paced to each person's needs and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jamie commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace, with the therapist listening carefully and supporting choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. That approach is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make everyday life harder, and it offers skills people can use during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs in a collaborative way.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people practice skills in the context of their everyday routines while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
