Hi, I’m Jamy. Pronounced Jamie. Pronouns they/she/siya [shah].

My priority is to create a space where you are understood. Many of my clients come to me burnt out from therapy experiences where they couldn’t show up as their full selves, but as your therapist, I want to provide an affirming space so we can redirect all the energy you’ve spent explaining who you are toward progression and healing. I commit to working as hard as you do, walking with you as we build strategies and road maps that lead you to the next favorite version of yourself. 

I utilize several approaches such as strengths-based, cognitive behavioral, trauma-focused, person-focused, feminist, and multicultural therapy. During our consultation call, feel free to let me know if there are practices, rituals, or items you engage with that support your healing and talking processes. I affirm members of all communities, such as: LGBTQ+ folx, formerly incarcerated folx, sex workers, kink-positive folx, consensual non-monogamous folx, gender non-binary and non-conforming folx, and transgender folx.

When I’m not practicing as a therapist, I offer services as a life skills coach, team builder, and wellness consultant. Especially if you met me at GDC 2025, check out these offerings!
