If you're ready to make change in your life, you've come to the right place! If you want to do therapy via Telehealth from the comfort of your home, we will be a great fit (just get ready for me to ask to meet your pets over the computer!) If you want to meet OUTDOORS for therapy, I'm your girl. My favorite therapy sessions are done in nature in the Boone, NC and surrounding areas - we can walk, hike, kayak, or even ski/snowboard during your therapy session! I believe the best therapy happens while moving your body in nature. I specialize in relationships, body-centered therapy, trauma-healing, women's issues, and goal-achievement.


I am a queer, cisgender female in my mid-30s (she/her pronouns.) I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and ADHD. I understand addiction and mental health first-hand. Though I am a therapist, I see us as equals and partners. I have 5 years experience working in Community Mental Health with diagnoses from Depression to Schizophrenia.

I'm currently accepting clients across NC. Let's partner to make your life THRIVE! I will provide the help you need or link you to someone who can. Your first session with me will be free. We'll get to know one another through a relaxed conversation and see if we will make a good fit together. BCBS coming late Spring of 2022! Cigna, Aetna, Optum coming Dec!

Hey I'm Jamie! I graduated in 2010 from the University of Georgia School of Social Work, and worked in hospice care, a nursing home, and with children and families in community mental health before private practice.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
