Jaimi (she/her) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Eating Disorder Special, iaedp-Approved Supervisor, and completed a certificate in Eating and Weight Disorders from the UC Berkeley Extension Center. She is currently in the final steps of advanced training for the Family-Based Treatment Certification Program with the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders.

In 2020, ​Jaimi expanded her private practice to include training, supervision, and consultation support to associate therapists and licensed clinicians in order to increase the availability of highly needed skilled adolescent and eating disorder treatment providers and plans to continue to offer additional support resources to the community in which she both lives and works, and build team collaboration opportunities.

In addition to growing her group practice and clinical work, Jaimi co-facilitated a community EDRC Body Image and Eating Disorder Support Group for many years, and has worked as an Adjunct Group Therapy Facilitator at local adolescent higher levels of care.

Jaimi enjoys working with and supporting adolescents, adults and families. Her clinical approach incorporates principles from Person-Centered therapy, Solution-focused, CBT, DBT, and EFFT interventions, and Family Systems theory. She believes in a strength-based approach with a focus on resilience, empowerment, and highlighting client strengths and resources, in addition to the healing power of therapeutic exploration, growth, self-discovery, and developing healthy coping skills. Jaimi’s intention is to assist her clients in developing interpersonal communication skills, improved life balance, and consistent self-care and self compassion practices.

Jaimi’s clinical work is influenced by her personal yoga practice, which has led her to a deeper understanding of mindfulness and the power of intention, awareness, and acceptance. She naturally incorporates these principles into her clinical work with all clients and plans to eventually incorporate mindful movement into her practice offerings in order to further aid in healing, recovery, and self acceptance.

Personally, Jaimi keeps busy with her partner, two daughters, beloved rescue dog, and personal quest for balance and self care. She enjoys learning, expanding her knowledge (including habitually starting too many projects at once), values rest and relaxation, and loves the ocean/beach, yoga, hiking, and traveling…and aspires to play beach volleyball one day!
