Making the decision to seek the support of a therapist is a very personal process and often occurs when one wants to change an aspect of life.

The foundation of good therapy is trust. As we build trust together, we can begin to explore, identify and tolerate emotions in healthier ways. Emotions are never the problem. Instead, emotions are data- guiding us to truth and potential. When we manage our emotions, and learn from them, we can avoid the traps of language, thinking, and habit that inhibit healthy development, that leave us stuck. Therapy is like an excavation. It is a cathartic oxygenation of buried experience done by an individual with the help of a therapist.

I do problem solving; figuring out with you what is the nature of the problem which brings you to me and what can we do about it. Mostly I treat anxiety and depression. Mostly, too, I use cognitive and behavioral therapies, sometimes EMDR, and sometimes whatever is needed. I treat you the way I want to be treated. If you want someone fully plugged electronically, that's not me. I have been a psychologist since 1975, in practice since 1987 and taught psychotherapy. Recently I'm also exploring the connections between food and mood.

Life is too short to be living a life that 'does not work'. Family of origin patterns often interfere with successful relationships; using Imago therapy we can uncover and heal emotional patterns that prevent marriages from thriving. The stresses of life can be overwhelming especially if one is not in a good relationship with oneself - are you your own best friend? Sometimes anxiety or depression or anger get in the way of a satisfactory life; it doesn't have to be that way and I can help you change what needs to be changed.

Finding a therapist for you or your teen can feel like a daunting task, especially when you are more than ready to connect with someone. Many children and teens who meet with Jamie are experiencing some type of relational stress (ex. family or friendships), life transitions, stress regarding gender/sexuality identification, difficulty within school or symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. They are often looking to meet with someone in a neutral, nonjudgemental position who can listen and provide feedback in response their experiences.
