Jamie earned her master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University. She considers herself a career-changer with a little over a decade of previous experiences in startup, agency, corporate and nonprofit work environments, so she understands many of the stressors that come with balancing personal and professional expectations and identities.

​

Jamie takes a collaborative approach to counseling and will start any new therapeutic relationship by talking with her clients about what they are hoping to get out of therapy. She is trauma-informed in her approach, with prior experience taking calls on the national suicide prevention line, as well as working in a residential setting with veterans experiencing substance use disorder(s) and/or post-traumatic stress. She likes to draw on interventions from cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and narrative therapy while takeing a strengths-based approach for each person with whom she works.

​

Jamie’s primary interests include working with folks on grief, loss, life transitions (graduation, retirement, cross-country moves, changing jobs, etc.), substance use, anxiety and interpersonal relationships. She also enjoys working with those who have visible and/or invisible disabilities.

​

Jamie is working toward independent licensure as a mental health professional. During that time, she is operating under the license of her clinical supervisor.
