Hello, I am Jackie.

And I am here when you're ready.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, low self-worth, or relationship patterns that feel confusing or hard to shift. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still find themselves feeling stuck, and you’re not alone in that.

My approach is relational, attachment-informed, and insight-oriented. Together, we look at how your relationships, both past and present, may be shaping how you think, feel, and move through the world. We explore how early experiences, attachment patterns, and meaningful connections may be shaping your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Together, we also gently bring awareness to the ways unconscious patterns and past experiences can show up in your present life, often without you even realizing it. As we work together, you may begin to notice patterns like how you respond to closeness, conflict, or even vulnerability. Gradually we find ways to allow you to feel more secure and authentic in those moments.

At the heart of this work is creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental.  My counseling style is a combination of directness and humor to not only tackle the problem head on, but to keep things light as you progress towards your goal. Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and emotionally attuned, with a focus on helping you understand yourself more deeply and develop greater self-compassion. From there, change can begin to feel more natural and lasting, rather than rushed or surface-level.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression and enjoy working on women’s issues, multicultural topics, and helping individuals work through family difficulties.
