Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Jami, and I am a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Therapist. I practice in both Michigan and Florida and I have seven years of experience supporting individuals as they build healthier coping skills to work towards creating meaningful change in their lives.

My approach to therapy

I strive to work with you by providing a non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I focus on helping you develop tools to help you regulate your emotions more effectively, tolerate distressing problems, and improve communication tools in your relationships.

What you can expect from me

During our first appointment, I will work on getting a basic history and using clinical screeners to help determine our best course of action in developing your treatment plan. Ultimately, I respect that each person is the expert in their own life and I will provide the roadmap of skills to use to help you work towards your goals. I am looking forward to working with you should you choose me as your therapist.
