Hi! I'm Jamie!

As the Lead Counsellor and Community Mental Health Practitioner at The Authentic Project, I work primarily with Gen Z and Millennials navigating daily stressors, identity, relationships, and a sense of direction in life.

Many of the individuals I work with appear to be managing on the surface, but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are and where they are going. These experiences often show up within relationships, family dynamics, and the pressure to meet expectations that may not fully align with who they are.

My approach is not only focused on coping, but on creating space for deeper exploration and building self-awareness- understanding patterns, making sense of and regulating emotional responses, and reconnecting with a more genuine sense of self.

Alongside one-on-one counselling, my work in community mental health spaces allows me to remain closely connected to the real-world challenges affecting young people today. This informs a practice that is both reflective and grounded.

I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space for those who are ready to engage in deeper, more meaningful therapeutic work.
