You want more ease, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.

Whether you’re in early adulthood or midlife, life transitions can activate self-doubt or feelings of disconnection. Life is hard, and our society offers little structural and community support. Let's get curious about the "why" of the past and learn new communication patterns & relationship dynamics to cultivate a life you love, centered on joy.

I am particularly interested in supporting:

• Women

• Single/step/co-parents

• Queer/trans/non-binary/gender-expansive people

• Non-heteronormative couples and families

• Small business owners

• Neurodivergence

• High-performers

• Military & veterans

… Individuals and communities who often carry a lot and may struggle to find space for themselves. 

Hello!

My name is Jamie (she/her). Before becoming a counselor, I spent over 23 years in the coffee industry, building community and cultivating safe, positive environments. My life experience informs how I show up in the therapy room, with the ability to connect with others and put them at ease. I bring a grounded, relational approach to counseling, rooted in deep empathy, presence, and curiosity. I believe in each person’s ability to change their story and can help you explore your relationship with yourself and others.

My style is calm, affirming, and direct. I am skilled at reading the room and offering encouragement and care, but I won't shy away from challenging you to support your growth. I approach therapy as a collaborative process and utilize a social-justice and trauma-informed perspective. My work draws from:

• Attachment Theory

• Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

• Neurobiology

• Somatic approaches

• Ecopsychology: Nature-based interventions and the benefits of movement in nature

• Creative interventions: Art and play as therapy

I recognize the systemic barriers and challenges that make life more difficult. Having the courage to open up to someone in this capacity is brave. I value your trust, and hold this exchange with gratitude.

Offering in-person sessions in Vancouver and virtual sessions throughout Washington. Outdoor walk-and-talk sessions coming soon!

I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University, a social-justice-focused program.
