“A very person-centered approach. She is able to recognize and point out the strengths I have and encourage me to use them in order to get through the struggles. Always makes sure we know we are in control of our lives and is more of a guide to solutions for our life not just telling me what to do. She is very direct and intelligent and open and willing to hear any concerns I might have always making sure she is giving me the best service/ assistance for me as an individual. There are no “text book” issues and she never makes it seem like that. Making it clear that every individual experiences things differently and gives a very personal approach. I am sure it is this way for everyone which is so important and greatly appreciated! Also, great with notes I’m assuming or great memory because she won’t make you repeat yourself. Like you’re her only client which is obviously not the case but such a special experience and not an easy task to do.”

Jamaika believes that every client is the expert in their own life. Her role as a therapist is to walk alongside clients offering support, insight, and guidance, while also challenging them when needed, so they can grow, heal, and move forward in a way that feels authentic. Her goal is to meet each person where they are while staying focused on their individual goals. Jamaika works with clients navigating a variety of life transitions, such as toxic relationships, building self-esteem, career or academic changes, or simply feeling stuck. Jamaika also supports individuals managing depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and other mental health challenges. While she serves a wide range of clients, Jamaika specializes in three areas: Elite & Professional Athletes: As a former Division I athlete, Jamaika understands the pressure, identity challenges, and performance demands athletes face. She enjoys working with athletes at all levels, whether they’re striving to stay at the top of their game or transitioning into life beyond sport. Domestic Violence & Abuse Survivors: Jamaika provides a safe, supportive space for individuals healing from emotional, physical, mental, or sexual abuse. She helps clients reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and move forward in their healing process. Substance Use & Addictions: Jamaika works with clients struggling with alcohol or drug misuse, helping them identify patterns and develop healthier coping strategies for lasting change. Her therapeutic approach is flexible and tailored to each client’s needs. She draws from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused treatments like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). If faith and spirituality are important to a client, Jamaika is happy to incorporate Christian-based counseling upon request. Ultimately, her goal is for authentic healing for each of her clients.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
