About Jamie
Life sometimes sends us down paths that we never expected to
be on. Oftentimes, we find ourselves lost, isolated, and hopeless. Whatever it
is that started you down this path, know you do not have to walk alone. I use a
collaborative approach to help clients move along this unexpected path and
overcome challenges along the way. The true joy is seeing clients recognize
that, while this path is not one they would have set out on their own, there
are truly beautiful steps taken on their journey to healing.
I have extensive experience in mental health treatment,
including substance use disorder. I have widespread knowledge and familiarity
assisting clients and their families navigate the challenges often faced while
obtaining and maintaining sobriety. Also, I assist families to understand and access treatment options that would best support
their loved one along their personal journey to recovery.
In addition to my expertise assisting clients and families
that have been affected by substance abuse disorder, I am expanding my practice
to address the needs of parents of children with medical complexities and
disabilities. As a special needs parent, I quickly realized that support,
understanding, and resources for parents and families are extremely limited. Parents
of children with medical complexities and disabilities are more likely than
others to experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
There is hope for parents facing the unique challenges of raising a child with
alternative abilities. I am devoted to assisting parents to process their
grief, foster communication skills to be their child’s best advocate, develop a
plan for self-care, and overcome the guilt and shame that is often experienced.
I am dedicated to creating a safe space free of judgement
where clients can focus on their individual healing process and personal
growth. I am looking forward and honored to walk alongside you on this journey
toward becoming the best version of yourself.
