Hi, I'm Jamie, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Western North Carolina. I began my counseling career as a clinician at the Asheville VA, where I spent meaningful years supporting veterans through anxiety, trauma, moral injury, nightmares, anger, grief, and depression. I am now looking forward to extending that same deep care and experience to the broader WNC community through my practice Pause Pivot Flow Counseling Services.
I approach therapy with a strong belief in the resilience and capability of my clients to heal, change, and achieve their goals. I practice Acceptance and Committment Therapy and have specialized training in compassion-focused ACT, ACT for trauma, and Inter-ACT for couples. I have additonal training in Gottman method and EFT which support my work with high conflict couples.
Pause. Pivot. Flow. This isn't just the name of my practice, it is a mantra for my approach to therapy. Pause — we slow down and notice what's unfolding internally in the moment, rather than reacting from habit or urgency. Pivot — we identify intentional shifts that feel doable and support the kind of change you are striving for. Flow — you practice these shifts in your daily life, between sessions, allowing them to build the momentum that creates change.
