Hi, it’s so nice to meet you! I’m Jackie! As a clinical social worker and talk-therapy enthusiast, specializing in adult therapy, I prioritize the transformative power of actions, habits, mindset, and brain chemistry. Central to my approach is the belief that creating a non-judgmental space fosters profound self-awareness—a crucial first step toward personal growth and change.
My mission is to empower individuals with practical tools and knowledge to navigate life with confidence and pride. Within the therapeutic relationship, I facilitate opportunities for honesty, boundary setting, assertiveness, and emotional exploration, nurturing a safe environment for growth and self-discovery.
In sessions, I blend teaching, exploration, and humor to foster a balanced journey of self-acceptance and growth. I utilize humor and imagery to shift perspectives and encourage new insights, always ensuring transparency by explaining my methods and intentions. Recognizing that starting therapy can be daunting, I strive to infuse the process with warmth, humor, and authenticity, making it an enjoyable and enriching experience.
