Jami’s Approach to Therapy
Therapy with Jami is collaborative, authentic, and grounded in real conversation. She aims to create a space that feels relaxed, genuine, and free of judgment so clients can feel comfortable exploring what they are carrying.
Her style is conversational while also being direct and intentional. Jami believes meaningful growth happens when clients feel safe enough to be honest, reflect on their experiences, and try new ways of coping. When appropriate, she uses humor thoughtfully to help build rapport and make therapy feel more approachable.
Jami’s work is guided by a strength-based, trauma-informed lens. She may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and somatic-informed interventions while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
A Special Focus on Grief and Loss
Through her clinical work, Jami has developed a strong passion for grief and loss counseling. She understands that grief extends beyond the death of a loved one and can also be connected to changes in relationships, identity, life transitions, or the life a person expected to have.
Jami helps clients explore and make sense of uncomfortable, confusing, or conflicting emotions, learn how to sit with discomfort, and develop healthier ways to cope as they move forward. Grief work is deeply personal, and she strives to meet clients with empathy, patience, and respect throughout the process.
Jami is currently completing her Grief Counseling Certification through the American Academy of Grief Counseling via the American Institute of Health Care Professionals.
