Their issues include setting boundaries, reconciling past issues with the present, and resolving relationship and family issues. Clients frequently ask for an understanding of their cognitive and emotional processes as well as deeper self reflection.

Past memories can be painful and prevent you from reaching your goals. You work hard to cope with the stress and demands of daily life, but you often feel that you cannot catch a break. You may know what is holding you back, but then ask yourself, "How do I move forward?" or "What can I do to become my true self?". You need a safe, non-judgmental space to discuss issues in the past and the ways they are affecting your daily life.

Hello, I'm Jamie. My approach to counseling is that every person has the "power" to redirect their lives that will lead to living a fulfilled happy life. I am completely committed and driven to help you discover inspiration, empowerment and clarity to start working towards eliminating symptoms. I help clients tap in their own capabilities to become resilient when faced with feelings and thoughts that keep us down the same "old" path. I believe if we work together, you will discover again that you are courageous, capable, and amazing. It's time to take that step towards a "new you".

Starting therapy can appear daunting whether this is the first time or the fifth time. I think the important thing is that you “start”. Within my sessions, I try to create a space where my clients can feel comfortable, safe, validated, reassured and encouraged. I desire for individuals who choose to work with me to feel at ease communicating their worries, stressors, accomplishments, setbacks, disappointments, hopes and/or dreams. My hope is that individuals leave our sessions feeling hopeful, inspired, challenged, and “ready to tackle” life transitions/issues, yet I understand everyone's therapy journey may look different.

Mental health needs may sometimes be overlooked in Primary Care today. Most PCPs may be too busy to ask the next question that will allow clients to open up regarding their mental health concerns. Mental health needs are growing by the minute and the second, with increased suicides and mental health breakdowns rising. Increased violence is becoming a common way of life in our society, related to minimal access to mental health services. Many people are searching for help. However, they do not know how to get there. The struggle is real.

Have you been worried, sad, stressed, or even facing daily challenges that seem unbearable to manage? Trying to manage our emotions can be difficult, and at times, our mind and body are trying to warn us to stop and take some time to focus on ourselves, but we ignore it. I’ve experienced this myself and am still learning new ways to cope. These are common feelings that most of us experience when we are struggling to heal and regulate our thoughts and emotions due to life stressors. I understand it can be scary to take that leap in seeking help, but you’ve already accomplished the first step of browsing for resources, which is great!

It’s difficult to admit we don’t always like the person that stares back at us when we look in the mirror. Sometimes life can make you a shell of your former self. You may ask yourself, Am I a good friend, partner, parent, child, student, worker? The burden of trying to be everything for everyone can feel draining. For so long you have pretended to be okay. Maybe, at times you even believed you were okay. Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore past experiences while also focusing on your ideal future self. You don't have to do this alone. Allow me to help you experience life more abundantly.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
