about jamie

Ministry Experience:

Loving on others and showing the inner light we possess to the world is the utmost importance to our community. Jamie has participated in different ministries since 2006. Those opportunities have included working with youth, individuals with domestic violence situations, and survivors of domestic violence including assisting the most vulnerable population on the streets of downtown Vancouver.

Counseling Approach:

Jamie strives to encourage and educate others while utilizing their own internal belief systems and strengths. She sees advocacy as a client-centered process- you gain a stronger foundation which, in turn, decreases fears and worries of the unknowns. Jamie believes that learning to navigate and utilize different ways to cope are lifelong skills needed to grow and embrace yourself in a more positive light.


Jamie adheres to a strengths-based model with couples and the family system. She also uses Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients build tools and skills. Additionally, she will soon be trained in Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients overcome the effects of trauma in their lives.
