I am a licensed therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While my educational background includes family systems work, my primary focus is helping individuals navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.

I work with adults, adolescents, and parents experiencing anxiety, ADHD, parenting concerns, life transitions, stress, and everyday challenges. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we explore what's going on in your life, identify challenges and patterns, and work toward meaningful change.

I am most widely known for the safe healing spaces that I create for women of Color. Through my practice, I have facilitated an Annual Sister Circle Retreat, and ongoing weekly Sister Circle therapeutic support groups for over a decade. In doing so, I have worked to empower a multitude of women in creating the lives that they want.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor and Play Therapist specializing in children and adolescents. I'm committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for young clients to explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and navigate life's challenges.

I work with clients ages 13 and up, couples, and families navigating grief, loss, PTSD, men’s issues, trauma, substance use, relationship stress, and seasons where life feels heavier than usual. Some clients come in after a specific loss or painful experience. Others are trying to make sense of anxiety, depression, identity questions, family patterns, or the pressure to keep functioning when things do not feel okay inside.

My background spans addiction recovery, group facilitation, crisis work, and private practice, so I am comfortable sitting with both everyday stress and the harder things people often feel they have to hide. My style is direct, engaged, and real. I use humor when it fits, show up as a full person, and genuinely care about helping you sort through what feels heavy, confusing, or stuck.

Jami Rieffel, LMFT

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

I’m LaToya T. Newman, MS, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with master’s degrees in both Marriage and Family Therapy and Criminal Justice Sciences. My background allows me to look beyond symptoms alone and consider the relational, environmental, and systemic experiences that shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and respond to life’s challenges.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I particularly enjoy supporting individuals and couples who are ready to better understand themselves, explore relational patterns, strengthen communication, and heal from experiences that continue to impact how they show up in relationships and daily life.

My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and relational. I pay attention not only to what is happening on the surface, but also to the deeper emotional experiences, family dynamics, and life experiences influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am especially mindful of cultural experiences, family systems, and the impact of past environments on emotional safety and connection.

Clients often describe me as warm, direct, insightful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you. I believe healing and growth happen when we better understand ourselves, feel emotionally safe, and begin addressing things at the root.
