Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be overwhelming at times with its many changes, challenges or stressors. Perhaps this is leaving you paralyzed and cut off or flooded with fear, grief, and confusion. You don’t have to navigate it alone. I want you to be able to feel more connected to yourself and others, resolve past hurts that may be holding you back and approach life with confidence and vitality.

In doing this, I can offer a space in which you can feel believed in, accepted and supported. I ultimately hope that in joining you in your journey I can help you improve your self-awareness, challenge any self defeating thought patterns and learn new tools that work best for you.

You have everything you need to heal and grow within you. Together let us see how we can tap into that and nurture the power that exists inside of you.

I strive to implement a therapeutic approach where I foster a safe space for those in need of mental health support and focus on a strength-based approach. I have experience working with high acuity needs, domestic violence, family instability, complex trauma, self esteem, interpersonal issues, working through relationship dynamics. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and I strive to tailor a therapeutic approach to each individual’s needs in treatment. Therapy is not a sprint, but an ongoing process where the individual works to learn the necessary coping mechanisms to help them manage the everyday stressors of life more effectively.

Jamie has worked for non-profits for over 20 years working with agencies, as well as her private practice in Huntington Beach, California. Bullying is a special area of interest to Jamie, as she has seen and worked with many young people who have been bullied, as well as those who have bullied, through the years. In working with teens and children, Jamie has helped several learn new skills to cope with bullies, and with the bullies to stop their negative behaviors, and their parents to help their children survive and protect them. Jamie’s agencies have included foster care agencies, out-patient mental health, probation department, and group homes working with both teen boys and girls, and their families.

Since recently working with adults in a psychiatric, partial-hospital setting, and doing research for her doctorate program, Jamie became interested, and wanted to help patients suffering from mental illness, such as chronic and persistent mental illness, such as schizophrenia, severe depression, bipolar disorder, and including substance abuse addiction, by focusing on how mental, emotional, and social factors affect a person's physical well-being. Jamie has had the opportunity to continue working with adults diagnosed with chronic and persistent mental illness in addition to substance use disorders at D’Amore Healthcare to assist patients in improving their insight, judgment, and symptom awareness to help prevent long-term hospitalization and transition them to a less structured environment.

Couples, Families, Adults, Adolescence, LGBTQ (Adult, Adolescence, Parents, Religious).

I graduated from National University with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I completed my practicum at High Tech Middle School North County in Vista, CA., where I was a Counselor who provided psychotherapy for adolescents and their families.

My theoretical approach is rooted in existential therapy and Gestalt therapy; however, I believe that an integrated approach to therapy is a valuable tool in helping my clients gain a balanced perspective on the life issues they are facing. I also believe humor is a valuable tool in counseling. If a client desires, I will incorporate spirituality into the therapy I provide.

I view therapy as a collaborative, sharing experience and seek to help my clients feel safe, comfortable, and truly understood.

I look forward to working with you on your mental health journey.

I believe therapy to be an important relationship, in which you feel heard, understood, and safe, while also being open to new challenges for growth. My goal as your therapist is to work with you collaboratively to foster an approachable catalyst for change.

I graduated from National University with my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy. I completed my practicum at High Tech High school in San Marcos, CA, where I counseled adolescents and their families with a collaborative and empathic approach.

My training and experiences as a therapist have taught me the importance of facilitating the client's growth. I provide a safe and supportive environment for the client to learn about him or herself, manage distress, reframe experiences, and practice coping strategies for life's many challenges. I use CBT in my practice to teach clients how to manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also use psychoeducation to teach clients about communication, verbalizing their wishes and goals, and challenge them to grow. In my spare time, I love running on the beach and reading novels under my beach umbrella.
