More About Me
Background
I completed my Master’s degree in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy and Art Therapy at Adler Graduate School in Minnesota in December of 2022.
Before becoming a therapeutic arts psychotherapist, I worked as a professional artist, social worker, school-based therapeutic arts educator, nature-based educator, and yoga teacher. My job as a therapist allows me to combine my loves of art, nature, movement, and healing to facilitate connection and empower people and communities.
I utilize the therapeutic modalities of therapeutic arts therapy, nature-based therapy, and traditional “talk” therapy to assist clients in exploring and processing barriers to what they’d like to do and how they’d like to be in the world. These issues include: grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, gender and identity, as well as relationships with partners and family members.
A session with me might look like incorporating some grounding breath work, creating process-based art, processing the things that are feeling most alive for you in session via talking and reflection, and perhaps learning a bit more about what your brain, body, and emotions are doing and why.
Jamie offers online and in person sessions at the St. Paul office. To learn more about what an art therapy appointment might be like click here.
Specialties
I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, and children to explore and deepen connection to self and others. I am trained in individual, intergenerational, community trauma, healing, and empowerment. I use a Person-Centered, Intersectional Feminist approach to the work that I do with you.
