Level I Certified in Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Disorders of Overcontrol
Jamie practices wellness by crocheting, painting with alcohol inks, traveling, and spending time with her family and friends. A few interesting facts to help you get to know Jamie better: Jame says she has so many favorite books that it is hard to pick a favorite. A few she is currently enjoying include the "Parasol Protectorate" series by Gail Carriger, the "Jane Steele" series by Lyndsay Faye, and "Sitting Together: Essential Skills for Mindfulness Based Psychotherapy" by Ronald D. Siegel, Susan M. Pollak, and Thomas Pedulla. She finds a special connection with Ivy Hisselpenny from the "Parasol Protectorate." Jamie says, "I relate to Ivy because being underestimated is something that happened to me due to difficulties I had in school related to my ADHD. I am also like Ivy in that I am quirky and protective of those I care about."
