About Jamie

Background and approach

Jamie emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental way of working that focuses on each person's current needs and strengths. Her style blends skill-building with empathic listening, aiming to help clients reduce distress and increase resilience.

She draws on strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy along with mindfulness and dialectical approaches to address issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family problems, trauma, grief, and difficulties with mood and impulse control. Jamie views the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and works with clients to set realistic goals and apply techniques that fit their lives.

Her practice is oriented toward practical change while honoring each client’s pace and story.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build reliable coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s values and goals guide the work and the therapist offers support and validation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies, teaching skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be useful for mood instability, impulsivity, and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process and will be collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try suitable techniques, and adjust methods as needs and preferences emerge so treatment feels practical and personalized.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care from varied locations within Minnesota. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured skill-building, talk therapy, and check-ins in ways that meet different schedules and communication styles.
