As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in.  We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement in my sessions, we are learning the root causes of unskillful behaviors and how to interact in the world, develop healthy relationships, all while maintaining your needs and acting in congruence with your values. We will create goals for therapy and celebrate the successes (large or small), and continue to build on the progress.  

I have years of experience working with adolescents, family conflict, eating disorders, parenting challenges, and couples. 

My therapy style is client focused and I use a wide variety of techniques to tailor to the clients needs. 

I am a family therapist by training and use a Structural Family Therapy approach to identify the needs of the family system, identify the problematic cycles and the internal strengths, and improve the overall functioning. I can help families learn to manage the challenges of parenting adolescents with big feelings in a safe relationship that develops trust and respect. 

I teach my clients healthy coping skills with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You will learn how to allow space for being uncomfortable and gain confidence to be able to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions control you.  Emotional progress is not linear and I will be here with you during the ups and downs. 

Jamie provides medication management virtually to clients all over NC. 

As a Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and

families to provide psychiatric care utilizing medications, complementary and alternative medicine, and

lifestyle modification strategies. I will work with individuals to establish goals for care and an individual

path of care. I have experience in treating individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychosis,

ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Eating Disorders, and substance use struggles. It is my goal for the

individuals I serve to play an active role in decision making and strategizing related to their care to make

sure it is person-centered.
