We may struggle getting to a place where we take the step asking for help. After shouldering challenging periods where we have felt stuck, anxious, upset, hurt, and scared; it can take an immense amount of courage to consider asking for help.

​Regardless of what brings you to therapy, you can expect a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental, and safe environment, where you will be heard and supported. We will gradually create a space together where you can feel safe enough to share your personal experiences.
 
Jamer’s goal is to bring a gentle, sincere, and non-judgmental, safe pace; where together, you can explore what has shaped your identity, and brought you to where you are currently. Jamer offers insight-oriented therapy to help deepen your understanding on the dilemmas you are enduring, and help guide you to the insight needed to help move you forward.
 
Jamer works with young and older adults, teens, and families. His overarching goal is to empathically listen, offer help in reconnecting areas of disconnect, provide insight on the impact of trauma within impacted families, and support in resolving adjustment challenges to new socio-living environments.

Jamer uses an eclectic approach where he blends modalities and tailors them to meet your needs and goals. Jamer brings a strength-based perspective into the process to assist individuals, teens, young adults, and families, to support uncovering strengths that reside behind perceived weaknesses.
