What brings Jamie to the field?: Jamie believes wholeheartedly in access to skilled and compassionate services aimed at recentering choice and safety after experiences of harm. She loves to support individuals in exploring their pathways to well-being and healing and helping to grow support systems. She also loves being part of a team that works daily to create an environment of care for people of all identities and foster communities where all people are safe and can thrive.


What does Jamie do for self-care?: Jamie finds joy in experiencing the world through her two children, spending time with friends and family, and taking day trips—especially those that involve being among trees or in water. Other favorites are walks to get coffee or a tasty meal, and watching a good or silly show to decompress at the end of the day.
