Hi there! I’m Jamie.

For over 25 years, I’ve guided hundreds of clients through some of the most meaningful—and challenging—transitions in their lives. As a psychoanalyst, teacher, and seasoned clinician, I’ve helped people navigate everything from burnout, trauma, and loss to breakthroughs in purpose, clarity, and inner peace.

​

I believe in the power of deep healing, compassionate self-understanding, and soulful integration. But my story isn’t just about professional milestones. It’s also personal.

​

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

I went to therapy for the first time in 1986—and began my healing journey. I never looked back.

​

In my early years, I navigated traumatic events, depression, and a persistent sense that I was meant for something more. Psychology became a calling, not just a career. I earned my MSW, became a licensed clinical social worker, and eventually, a board-certified psychoanalyst. I opened my private practice, helped students and staff at the Tulane University’s Student Health Department of Psychiatry, and taught and supervised future clinicians. I was balancing my career while expanding my education and family.

I was living what many would call a successful, impactful life.
And then…life hit a major road bump.

A TURNING POINT

In 2016, amidst a family crisis that shook me to my core, I found myself ungrounded and needing something more…a deeper spiritual connection rooted in consciousness, a journey back to myself and to a more balanced life.

Despite decades of training and personal work, I felt like I was reeling. Holding space for my clients while trying to care for my family, I realized: something was missing. I needed more than insight. I needed integration—a way to stay rooted, inspired, and whole through the uncertainty.

But even with all my experience, nothing prepared me for the personal crisis that unfolded. It didn’t just shake me—it shaped me. That chapter brought profound growth, deepened my compassion, and awakened a new level of integration in my work. It helped me bridge everything I’d long been drawn to—East and West, science and soul, psychoanalysis and ancient healing. What had once been threads of personal interest—philosophy, healing arts, art, psychology—now wove together into a cohesive path. And it ultimately gave rise to what became my private practice and the vision behind Windows to Wisdom.

That’s when I found myself at an Ayurvedic retreat in California—and everything shifted. This holistic approach became the missing link in my own healing, and eventually, the foundation for how I help others heal.

Even with all my training, what transformed me most was learning to listen—truly listen—to myself. It started with my understanding the subtle language of the unconscious and how powerful it is when we turn toward ourselves with compassion and curiosity, rather than control. When I integrated that with holistic mind-body and spiritual healing practices, my healing deepened. That’s when my work evolved.
