Hi, I'm Jaimie! As a therapist, I’m passionate about helping anxious teens and young adults learn how to build up their self-esteem and overcome relational difficulties. The majority of my practice focuses on individuals struggling to maintain healthy attachments and relationships. I work from a mind-body perspective and help my clients experience relief from the anxiety and trauma that their bodies hold onto through mindful practices and effective coping skills. I understand that taking the journey of self-discovery can be uncomfortable at times, but I am here to empower and guide you through it.

Life can be overwhelming and difficult sometimes, and we have to remind ourselves that we are worth the time, space, and effort to focus on our mental health and overall well-being. Mental health issues can look different for everyone, and sometimes we feel powerless to combat the problems. Each of us has the ability to identify, set, and achieve goals related to our mental health, even when it seems impossible: sometimes the hardest step forward is the first one.

Is this the best it can be? You know you are not living your life to its fullest. You look around you at the state of the world and you see conflict, disasters, people being awful to each other and changes that happen so fast, no one can seem to keep up. It seems like you either have to shut down to the pain of the world, or you will drown in it. It’s so much easier in any given moment to lose yourself on your phone, or Netflix, or a drink or…. You can see that you’re checking out – and there’s a price to pay for that – but in the moment, you can’t muster anything better.

The truth about mental health is that being mentally healthy is not simply being happy all the time and perfect relationships are not born they are built. It is a fact that life is full of twists and turns with amazing highs and heartbreaking lows, not just for the individual but for couples and families as well. True mental health is the ability to navigate through these points while embracing the full range of your emotions and honoring them and every part of yourself! This is the stuff that mentally healthy and strong people and relationships are made of and this is where my passion lies!

People are always saying that you seem to be doing ok but they have no idea how much you struggle! Ever since the terrible thing happened you have been distracted, irritable, having nightmares, and you cry at pretty much anything. You are the friend who will always be there for others, but often feel like you are losing yourself in the process. You just want to laugh more, have good relationships, get your grades up or get better at your job. You have hope that you can feel better, but right now you feel stuck because you really don’t know how.
