About Jamie
Jamie works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to identity and relationships. She also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, sleep problems, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to build self-compassion and clearer communication skills that carry into daily life.
In sessions she combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with evidence-based tools like acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral strategies. She uses client-centered ways of working so the conversation stays focused on what matters most to the person in front of her. Dialectical skills and emotionally focused ideas are blended in when helpful to manage intense feelings and improve connection with others.
Jamie draws on years of practice across several states while now working from Colorado. She pays attention to each person’s background, beliefs, and goals when shaping a plan. The result is a tailored path that mixes coping skills, emotional understanding, and real-world steps.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address memories and reactions that follow trauma by gradually building safety, grounding skills, and ways to process distressing events. It is often used for anxiety, intrusive memories, and surviving past harm.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, and major life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses empathic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. It can be useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of struggles.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what has helped in the past, and what feels tolerable. Together they shape a plan that may blend methods, adjust pace, and add skills practice tailored to the person's needs.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more scheduling flexibility. Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try shorter check-ins when days are hectic, or rely on audio instead of video when bandwidth is limited.
