About Jamie
If you are curious, hesitant, or intimidated about seeking therapy, I am here to help. I create a nonjudgemental, safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear, judgment or criticism. This space is dedicated solely to your well-being, where you can explore your emotions, build your self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion. If you value a creative and holistic approach to therapy, we may integrate art or other expressive techniques like mindfulness. I am passionate about trauma and women's issues. My training and experience allows me to navigate the complex needs of survivors of all ages, including young survivors. One area of particular interest to me is the mind-body-spirit approach. These therapies focus on the body's wisdom in healing trauma and provide a holistic approach to recovery. As part of Wellspring Therapeutic Partners, I regularly consult with our team of therapists, prescribers, and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management or testing, though we always welcome and encourage you to keep working with your outside provider if helpful.

Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
I became a therapist because of my own experiences with therapy, which for me, were deeply helpful. The people I work with motivate me to continue and being able to be a part of their healing process is extremely rewarding. Plus, the field of therapy is always evolving, so I am motivated to look at the future developments.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I get it. It’s normal to feel hesitant before trying something new. However, it can’t hurt to try, and if you don’t immediately love it, that’s okay- sometimes it takes a few sessions before you find the right fit. Either way, you are in control of this journey. You could think of it like driving a car; you’re steering the wheel, but sometimes it can be nice to have a supportive guide in the passenger seat.
How does trauma focused therapy work and how can it help?
Trauma-focused therapy works by understanding how traumatic experiences affect the brain and body, and emphasizes safety as the number one priority. The therapist provides education about the normal reactions to trauma, which normalizes the client’s experiences and helps foster self-compassion. The therapist works to build an empowering and collaborative relationship between the therapist and client and shares healthy coping skills and other resources like grounding techniques.
