Being human is complicated. We move through experiences that shape us, relationships that change us, and moments that can leave us feeling stuck. Some of those experiences bring joy and connection, while others bring fear, sadness, anger, loneliness, or grief. Jamie sees therapy as a space to be accompanied through those experiences while learning to meet oneself with greater curiosity, compassion, and care. Her goal is to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen as their whole selves and empowered to better understand what they need, what they want, and what may be getting in the way. Jamie offers in-person and virtual sessions in NY and NJ.

Jamie’s approach is relational, psychodynamic, and person-centered. She is interested in how people learn to understand themselves, what their childhood and family-of-origin experiences taught them about relationships and safety, and how those experiences may continue to shape the ways they relate to themselves and others. At the same time, she believes therapy should have room for whatever is happening in the present. Jamie works collaboratively with clients to explore whatever feels most meaningful, rather than assuming there is one predetermined path toward healing.

In her clinical experience, Jamie has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in private practice and school-based settings. In addition, she gained experience supporting LGBTQ+ youth through acute crises as a volunteer counselor with The Trevor Project. Jamie’s interest in therapy began with her study of psychology and human development and ultimately led her to social work. She earned her bachelor's degree in psychology before completing her Master of Social Work at New York University's Silver School of Social Work. Throughout her training, she has worked with people across the lifespan, including adolescents navigating emotional and social challenges, adults and couples in private practice, and older adults experiencing grief, loss, and significant life changes. As someone with an interest in understanding social systems, she recognizes that not every struggle is an individual one. Social and structural realities can profoundly shape people’s opportunities, relationships, sense of safety, and understanding of themselves. With this in mind, Jamie hopes to help clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes, set boundaries, and advocate for themselves

Jamie brings genuine care and openness to her work. She joins clients in working through what feels painful or difficult, while also sharing in moments of joy, humor, connection, and celebration. She does not believe clients need to arrive with everything figured out, or even know exactly what they want to change. Sometimes therapy begins simply with the feeling that something isn't quite working. Jamie hopes that therapy can be a place where you feel truly seen, where you can make sense of what you have been carrying, and where you can begin to move through life with a little more understanding and compassion for yourself.
