Hi! I'm Jessie. I work with teens (16 and older) and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related issues, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, nurturing, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership, where you are respected as the expert on your own life, and where we work together at a pace that feels safe and empowering for you.
My work is holistic and integrative. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I aim to understand the full picture of who you are- your experiences, relationships, values, and the patterns that may be shaping how you feel today.

I lead a group of specialists that help couples pull out of negative patterns of conflict and distress so they can become closer and more connected to one another. We understand that our need for secure connection is wired in us and when we can't feel connected in our most important relationships, it causes great distress. If it seems you are arguing over petty things, or feel distant and withdrawn, if your sexual connection isn't what it used to be or you are feeling like roommates, we can help create the safety needed to explore the underlying issues at the core so you can experience a loving, secure bond with one another.

I am passionate about helping older adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, people-pleasing, and complex relationships—especially those affected by narcissistic abuse.

Hello. I’m Jamie and I’ve been a practicing therapist for many years. You may be recovering from addiction, trauma, toxic relationships, or perhaps, all of these things!

I find that I work best with those who are not interested in an overly sterile therapy experience and who may lovingly self-label as freaks/outcasts/weirdos. I believe therapy shouldn't feel hierarchical, nor alienating. You and I are collaborating to help you reach a point in your life where you feel stable and content. I’m not here to judge you or tell you what to do, but rather to work as a friendly voice to help you connect missing pieces and wade through life’s challenges with more confidence.

Life is not easy. But it is especially hard for those who have experienced any level of trauma. Whether it is childhood trauma, sexual, physical or emotional trauma or little "t" trauma, all of it affects how we function on a daily basis. Trauma limits our choices and makes it seem impossible to make healthier choices and find the path we want to live on. If trauma is not something you identify with, but you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or a lack of joy in your life and you have struggled to figure out where that comes from, I would love to help you identify the core problem.

I believe in the power of human relationships and know that opportunities to be radically authentic are often limited in daily life. My goal as a therapist is to provide a space where you can be unapologetically yourself.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and helping people heal from relational wounds.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
