Hi, I’m Jamie, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor serving the Western North Carolina community from my practice in the Frog Level district of downtown Waynesville. After years of clinical service at the Asheville VA (CGVAMC), I founded Pause Pivot Flow Counseling Services to offer dedicated, individualized care to couples and adults across Western North Carolina. Relationships inevitably hit moments where momentum stalls or distance grows. Whether you are navigating a major life shift or feeling caught in the same painful arguments, I provide a steady space where both partners can feel heard, understood, and supported. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help couples identify their underlying interaction patterns and build concrete tools for closeness. Our work isn't about applying a rigid template- it's about honoring your lived experience and partnering with you to create meaningful change. When you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out to schedule a consultation—I look forward to connecting with you.
