About Jami
Jami Winkel is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, career changes, and life transitions.

Her style blends empathy with clear, behavior-focused options so people leave sessions with concrete next steps.
Jami uses a collaborative approach that balances talking through emotions with building new coping strategies.
Background and approach
She emphasizes linking mind and body and pays attention to how habits form and change. That perspective helps people learn small routines that shift everyday feelings and reactions. Across 23 years of practice she has worked with issues such as attachment concerns, avoidant personality patterns, codependency, and mood disorders.
She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, fatherhood issues, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics. Her work includes helping those affected by natural or human-caused disasters and women’s issues and self-love struggles. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies clients can try between meetings.
Jami often combines relational ideas with body-oriented awareness to help people notice the link between sensations and behavior. The goal is steady, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. She practices in California and offers services in English.
People who prefer online care can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Approaches that connect feelings, body, and behavior
Jami draws on relational ideas that focus on how people connect and interact with others. Relational approaches help identify patterns in relationships and offer alternatives for clearer communication and healthier boundaries.She also emphasizes body-mind awareness techniques that pay attention to sensations and movement. These methods help people notice how physical responses relate to emotions and behavior, useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and habit change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jami collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adapts the plan as changes unfold. That way sessions stay focused on what actually helps the individual make progress.
Online care is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video can support a fuller conversational session, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging fits quick updates or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or other obligations while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
