"We don't have to do it all alone. We were never meant to."
Brene Brown
Gentle Growth Mental Health Counseling, PLLC
Welcome, I'm so glad you are here!
Whether you’re experiencing the growing pains of the teenage years, preparing to “leave the nest,” or navigating the complex blend of challenges and joy that come with starting a family, you’ve found a space built for support, healing, and growth.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in family-focused care—supporting individuals, parents, and couples through some of life’s most tender and transformative stages. My goal is to help you feel grounded, understood, and equipped to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Therapy with me is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and practical tools. Every session is individualized to meet your unique needs and real-life circumstances. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—a safe, trusting space where you feel both supported and empowered.
Our work together often includes meaningful reflection, gentle skill-building, and authentic conversation about the topics that matter most: love, identity, parenting, relationships, self-worth and everything in between. You’ll find this is a space where you can exhale, explore, and grow—without judgment.
And if you need a reminder along the way, I’ll be here to help you pause, breathe, and be kind to yourself. You already carry so much wisdom and resilience within you—my role is simply to help you reconnect with it and guide you through whatever challenges you’re facing.
Welcome to a space where you, your family, and your future are supported with care, compassion, and clinical expertise.
ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm Jamie
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Rochester, NY, offering both in-person and virtual therapy across New York State.
Through my own journey — including the challenges of fertility, the transformations of motherhood, and every twist and turn in-between — I’ve come to deeply believe that growth can be both gentle and powerful. My work centers on supporting individuals and families through life’s most tender seasons — from life transitions, longing to start a family, to navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Therapy with me is a space to exhale — to slow down, feel seen, and rediscover your strength. Together, we’ll blend compassion, evidence-based tools, and creative expression to help you move toward balance, healing, and hope.
Let’s begin your next chapter — with care, clarity, and gentle growth.
