Immediate Openings! As a therapist, I aim to help my clients achieve and maintain the best version of themselves. My hope is that through the power of the therapeutic relationship, clients are able to be vulnerable, explore their authentic selves, and learn the tools necessary to help them cope with the struggles in their daily lives and relationships. Through the reflection on past experiences and the exploration of present thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, I work to help my clients gain insight and facilitate change in their lives.

My ideal client is an individual who wants to live a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and joyful. They understand that this journey may be challenging at times, but they are willing to invest in themselves and their well-being. They seek therapy as a tool for growth, healing, and transformation, and they are ready to embark on this journey with courage and openness. I see individuals and families (not couples), and can hold sessions in English, Italian, or Portuguese. I also provide Christian counseling if that is desired. Ready for positive change?

Someone once said, "The decision to ask for help is not easy and requires courage." Sometimes it is both challenging and absolutely terrifying to invite a perfect stranger into one's space that doesn't appear to be as "put together" as we would like, especially when what has one "falling apart" is substance use. I am of the belief that with a focused mind, determined spirit, and faith, there is no trip DOWN you can't fall UP from.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving us feeling anxious, sad or stuck. We may feel unappreciated or insecure in our relationships.

With warmth and compassion, I create an environment where individuals, couples and families can navigate their unique issues and relationship challenges and find the strength and courage to institute change. I look forward to working together to help you achieve growth and fulfillment in your life.

Finding a therapist you can trust can be challenging. I’ve been described as supportive, empathetic and honest. I speak up more during sessions than many traditional therapists because I’m genuinely curious about how you think and feel. Engaging in a conversation and getting to know your story are the reasons I do this work. Everyone needs support as they navigate stressful life transitions, explore relationship dynamics and process old wounds. The only requirement is that you’re curious to learn more about yourself.

Hi, I'm Jaime - therapist, parent coach and author of 'Tummy Troubles', a book for children who are afraid of throwing up. I specialize in treating children, teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and specific fears/phobias. Parenting an anxious child can be very challenging! Our children's anxiety, OCD and specific fears/phobias can cause us to believe we are doing something wrong. Even worse, it can cause our children to feel like they are as well. Our child's anxiety can make everyday tasks, like going to school, extremely difficult. Family life can become disrupted and parenting can feel overwhelming and stressful.
