Hi, I’m Jamie! For over 12 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of mental health and education. As a full-time school-based Social Worker, I have a front-row seat to the incredible pressure our educators and parents face , as well as the complex challenges our teens and children navigate every day.
Whether you are a teacher, a helping professional, a parent on the edge of burnout—or a teen feeling overwhelmed by the world—I provide a grounded, judgment-free space to help you find your footing again. My approach is client-centered and non-judgmental, with specialized training in DBT and CBT. Additionally, I am a breast cancer survivor and have a passion for supporting those navigating their own medical journeys as well.
A little more about me:
I’m a parent myself and deeply value the humbling experience that is raising humans! I am a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring different coffee shops, travel, skiing, boating, hiking and running.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
