Hi, my name is Jamika, and I am a Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy. After graduating high school, I served in the US Army for 10 years and loved that I got a chance to travel outside of my little Maryland bubble. I was born and raised in Maryland, but currently reside in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in psychology from The University of Phoenix in 2018 and my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University in 2023.

I love to work with children, couples, biological families, blended families, and individuals. I have experience working with clients who exhibit ADHD adjustment issues, anxiety, behavioral concerns, depression, family conflict, grief, relationship issues, and trauma. Also, as an individual who served 10 years in the United States Army, I can understand the military lifestyle and the adjustment period that comes with transitioning into a civilian.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, as you are the one who knows your story best. What are your concerns? And how can we address them? When working with children and families, I lean more towards Structural Family therapy, where I aim to help you readjust your family rules, roles, and boundaries.

My goal is to help you grow individually and relationally. As you walk through your storms, I will be there to encourage you along the way, as you essentially realize that not all storms will last forever. I aspire to provide you with not only a safe, non-judgmental space to be vulnerable, but also, the tools you need in preparation for any other future storms you may encounter.
