About Jamie

In my counseling approach, the most important aspect is the trusting and safe relationship between the therapist and client. I aim to journey with clients within the framework of person-centered, attachment, and existential theories while also addressing past experiences that frame how individuals exist in the present. As a systemic therapist, I hold a holistic view of clients’ experiences and acknowledge how presenting concerns may be affected by other parts of the clients’ system, such as family, work and social environments. I often work with clients who struggle with anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions. My goal is to have clients leave therapy feeling authentic, self-assured, and able to create meaning from their experiences. I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into my practice to deepen healing from traumatic events.

I have a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Sociology, and Spanish from the University of Nevada, Reno. During my education I have worked with a range of individuals and families through in-home psychosocial rehabilitation services. As a clinical intern, I conducted out-patient individual, family, and couples counseling. I have worked with families with children as young as 5 years old through a Child Parent Psychotherapy approach and thoroughly enjoy working with young adults and teens. I strive to meet clients where they are at in whatever they are facing and walk alongside them.

I am originally from San Diego, California and have lived in the Reno for the past 7 years. I have an equal love for both the mountains and the ocean. Some of my hobbies include taking care of my houseplants, practicing yoga, playing video games, and enjoying a good cup of coffee with my loved ones and cat!

As a human, you are not a being, you are a becoming, an ongoing process. Nothing is fixed - you can be whichever way you want to be.
