Hi, I'm Jami and I'm a licensed therapist & board-certified art therapist. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, self-esteem, perfectionism, life changes/transitions, grief, identity, and stress (work, school, relationships, etc). I aim to create a safe and supportive space for people to focus on healing, growth, & skill-building. My approach in therapy is person-centered & rooted in mutual respect, warmth, trust, and honesty. Empathy, creativity, & evidence-based practices are "north-stars" in my work to help people get unstuck and move toward their goals & hopes.
I use CBT, DBT, and ACT techniques to support treatment goals through skill-building, gaining insights, and clarifying values. I’m trained and credentialed in counseling & art therapy and include art therapy in sessions as desired by clients. Art therapy focuses on the art-making process so art skills or talents are not needed for people to benefit from it.
People invest their time & energy in therapy and deserve to feel seen, heard, respected, & empowered in therapy. It's essential to find a therapist you connect with. Please email me if you're interested in working together or if you have any questions about starting therapy. Feel free to visit my website to see my current openings & schedule an appointment.
