Hi, I'm Jackie, and I've worked in various modalities such as re-entry for incarcerated individuals, partial care treatment, health education, private practice, and medicated assisted treatment. My therapeutic approaches include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy to better assist my client in gaining the necessary tools to effectively and appropriately manage their negative emotions. I also believe in using a mindfulness approach to help individuals better understand and identify internal and external triggers that can lead to maladaptive and addictive behaviors.

Therapy with me is active, honest, and time-limited. When I taught my children how to ride a bike, I let go of the back long before they realized they were pedaling on their own. I see my role as a therapist in the same way. I value your time and money and won’t waste either. My work helps you recognize patterns, build emotional strength, take accountability and let go of what you can’t change. I offer individual therapy and highly encourage participation in a small, supportive group. Current groups: Emerging Adults (25–30), Transitions for Women 55+, The Mother Load (mother–daughter relationships), and a support group for nurses.

Alcohol Use Therapists
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
