Meet Jayne Villamizar

(she/her)
Marriage and Family Therapist Associate


Jayne holds a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Portland State University, where her senior capstone focused on mindfulness and meditation.

Jayne works with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity, and patterns that can leave us feeling stuck or disconnected from ourselves and others.

Her approach is systemic, relational, and integrative. Rather than viewing symptoms or struggles in isolation, Jayne is interested in the larger context of a person's experience—the relationships, environments, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped how they learned to understand themselves, connect with others, and respond to the world around them.

Jayne draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based approaches, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. She considers the biological, psychological, relational, and social factors that contribute to each person's experience and adapts therapy to the needs of the person rather than expecting the person to fit a particular therapeutic model.

Curiosity is central to Jayne's work. She believes that understanding where our patterns come from can create compassion and perspective without removing responsibility for how we choose to respond to them today. Therapy offers an opportunity to become more aware of the patterns operating beneath familiar reactions, develop a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, and create greater flexibility in how we respond to ourselves and others.

Jayne's style is warm, engaged, collaborative, and direct. She strives to create a space where clients feel deeply understood while also being invited to examine the patterns, assumptions, and behaviors that may no longer be serving them. Her goal is to help clients develop greater awareness, agency, and freedom to make choices that are more aligned with who they are and how they want to live.
