Virtual • Jacksonville, NC


Hello there! Whether you are new to therapy or returning, I would be happy to walk with you on your therapy journey. Sometimes we feel a little lost and are unsure where to begin. These feelings can be overwhelming and discouraging. For the past five years I have enjoyed working in private practice with people who may be similar to you. People navigating through anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, relationship issues, challenges regulating emotions, and more.

Therapist

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. I want to help anyone who is struggling, even if they are not an "ideal client". I believe every human has strengths and is a multifaceted being. I have a special place in my heart for neurodivergent individuals as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. <3
