Dr. Jamie

My name is Jamie, and I am the owner and founder of SD Wellness. Although I am just beginning the journey, my dream is to create a space where care goes beyond the basics, and where every treatment plan is as unique as the individuals walking through the doors. Thus, SD Wellness was born - a sanctuary of healing, driven by a holistic and client-first approach.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Calgary, a PhD in Cognitive Development from the University of Saskatchewan, and a Post Masters Certificate in Counselling from Athabasca University.

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta. I also teach psychology at Red Deer Polytechnic.

I am a mother of two amazing and busy boys and a beautiful golden retriever. I was born and raised in Red Deer and my husband and I call Red Deer home. My interests and passion stem from my experience working at the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre and experiencing birth trauma in different ways with both of my boys.

I have 9 years of experience in the field and specialize in perinatal mental health, family systems, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed cognitive behavioural therapy.  I work with individuals, especially mothers and those who have experienced trauma, as well as families and couples.

With a combination of my personal and professional experience, I hope to instill an atmosphere of authenticity and comfort.

Therapy with me begins with a breaking down of the myths associated with counselling and creating a realistic path for movement forward in a non-judgmental way. I am honoured to be a part of your journey in any way.

I look forward to healing with you soon!
