Jamie grew up in Church Point, Louisiana—a small town in the heart of Cajun Country. After earning her degree from LSU, she spent five years as an adapted physical education teacher in the public school system. Driven by a deep curiosity about why her students faced challenges with movement and learning, she took a leap of faith, moving to Florida to pursue a career in occupational therapy.

​

In 2015, Jamie earned her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. To gain specialized experience in pediatrics, she trained alongside some of Atlanta’s most esteemed pediatric therapists. In 2019, she and her family relocated to the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, drawn by a desire to connect more with nature.

​

With a passion for family-centered, strengths-based care, Jamie founded Smoky Mountain Occupational Therapy in 2020. It quickly became the region’s go-to clinic for sensory processing, providing high-quality, neurodiversity-affirming OT services for children and young adults.

Outside of work, Jamie loves camping and exploring the outdoors with her family. She also homeschools her three children, embracing a lifestyle of hands-on learning and adventure.
