JamieLynn believes in a solution-focused, strength-based model of therapy, in which her clients mindfully discover and use their strengths more effectively. By teaching people new tools and mechanisms for their self-care, she empowers them to find a life worth living.

Specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, she works with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma. She also enjoys helping adolescents struggling with school performance or attachment disorders, and helping veterans and their families.

JamieLynn was drawn to BeMeBetter because the practice goes beyond the typical medical treatment model. “The mind, spirit, body connection is lacking in many agencies and clinics. BeMeBetter’s collaborative practitioners offer a whole person approach that makes an immediate, lasting impact on people,” she says.
