Navigating parenthood can be hard & sometimes we need extra support. If you are feeling overwhelmed or watching your child struggle with things such as anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, tantrums, big transitions, & difficult behaviors, you’ve come to the right place. I work with children of all ages & their grown-ups, utilizing a collaborative play-based approach to healing. I am passionate about family work & utilizing the therapeutic powers of play to help children naturally work through their problems. Play is the “language” in which children communicate in a non-threatening way. Just as adults "talk" it out, children play.

Hey there, I’m Jackie! My approach to therapy is trauma-focused, meaning that we work together to heal complex trauma. Complex trauma can look like unresolved event-based trauma (shock trauma) as well as attachment and relational wounding (developmental trauma) that manifest in various forms of emotional distress. The resolution of unresolved wounding is important in the healing process because such wounds keep us repeating the same unhealthy patterns in relationships, family systems and professional roles. And, perhaps most importantly, unresolved wounds keep us disconnected from ourselves.

Working with people is my passion. A wise mentor once told me, "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." The message was clear: Give people hope that their happiness moving through the life cycle is worth their time and effort. Everyone from children through seniors enjoys a professional who is friendly, non-judgmental, compassionate, interactive and humorous! My style is understanding that delicate issues and human growth and development are dealt with intelligently with short-term and long-term relief. I am a solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapist serving all ages from 6 - 80.

“You likely know what you would like to change or not change and have most of the tools to do it. Let’s work together to help you become unstuck.” This is the axiom that guides my work with you. You are the expert of your life and what matters to you. However, I also believe the more that we feel accepted for who we are now, the more likely we are to take those first steps toward change. This is why I strive to create a relational space in which you will feel safe, accepted and empowered. I have training in the following evidence based practices: Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Family Centered Treatment, CBT and TF-CBT.

A safe and supportive environment for you, your family , and/or your child is my number one goal as a therapist. Many of my clients share feeling stuck, or unsure about what to do next.

Life can bring uncertain times and circumstances that can lead to anxiety, sadness, feelings of despair and a lack of options. There are so many aspects of our lives ( family , upbringing and traumatic events) that we cannot choose or change. No matter how imperfect you think your life story is in this “now moment,” please know that you deserve to feel love, happiness and peace. We live in a society and culture that emphasizes happiness defined by status, material items and wealth rather than a life filled with peace, balance and contentment within ourselves.

Complicated relationships are my specialty. I work with partners, parents, adolescents, and families and am passionate about helping my clients create the lives and relationships they desire.

My practice has expanded to serve couples and families, helping to create stronger parents, partners, employees, and family systems.
