Hi, I’m Jacqueline.
Empowering individuals to conquer anxiety, sports-related anxiety, burnout, navigate young adult challenges, and assisting families in breaking generational cycles is my passion.
My mission is to stand by your side, helping you overcome sports related anxiety, professional burnout, while also providing support to heal from difficult family dynamics. I am dedicated to guiding you through challenging times, extending a compassionate hand to navigate your struggles and facilitate healing. Together, we will strive to establish peace and balance in your life.
My passion is rooted in personal experience—I understand the depths of the struggle and the journey toward transformation. Witnessing the transformative power of breaking old cycles and discovering healing fuels my passion for supporting you as you overcome your own obstacles and create a brighter future.
My Therapeutic Style
I have a warm, empathetic, straightforward, and collaborative approach, offering practical strategies and compassionate support to guide you towards healing and growth.
Working with me feels like being supported on a journey of self-discovery and growth. You'll find a safe space where your experiences are honored and your voice is heard. I approach our work with empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to help you thrive.
In therapy sessions with me, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you can express yourself freely. I'll listen to your concerns, make connections, and offer practical strategies to help you overcome challenges. My approach is collaborative, meaning we'll work together as a team to identify and achieve your goals.
You can expect a therapist who is attentive, empathetic, and dedicated to your well-being. I bring a solution-focused mindset to our sessions, helping you explore your strengths and resources to overcome obstacles. Additionally, I incorporate somatic techniques to address the mind-body connection, trauma-informed care to ensure your safety and comfort, and a systemic perspective to understand how various aspects of your life intersect.
What sets me apart is my holistic approach, blending empathy, expertise, and a focus on the mind-body connection. I create a safe space for healing, integrating somatic techniques and trauma-informed care. My systemic perspective considers the broader context of clients' lives. With a solution-focused mindset, I empower clients to achieve their goals and thrive.
My journey into therapy began with a
natural inclination to listen and support others.
As a student volunteer with Camp Kesem during my undergraduate career, I witnessed the profound impact of helping people through challenging times. It became clear to me that becoming a therapist would allow me to continue making a difference in people's lives, particularly during moments of vulnerability.
My own experiences with struggles and the support I received from my therapist and community further solidified my path towards becoming a therapist. These moments of support were pivotal in shaping who I am today. I recognize that everyone experiences trauma differently and that it can manifest in various ways, often impacting generational cycles.
In addition to trauma, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, sports related anxiety, stress, burnout, and challenging family dynamics. These experiences are universal and can profoundly affect our well-being. I believe in taking a systemic approach to therapy, considering the broader context of clients' lives, including family dynamics, cultural influences, and societal factors.
My goal as a therapist is to help clients understand and heal from trauma, stress, burnout, and grief, fostering healthier patterns of living and communication. Relationship-building has always been important to me, and I deeply value the therapist-client connection. Each client's journey is unique, and it's a privilege to support them along the way.
