Hi! I am Jaclyn. I have a warm and non-judgmental approach and I am here to support you. My therapeutic style incorporates a systems view, looking at the various aspects of your life. Do you experience racing thoughts, unable to sleep, or constantly on alert? Do you experience a knot in your stomach every time you wake up for work or school? Whether you're navigating relationships, facing personal struggles, or dealing with the obstacles of work and daily demands, I strive to understand the broader systems influencing your life. Together, we will explore what lies beneath this anxiety and stress.

How can we remain calm and focused in a world of stress and confusion? How can we work towards not being ruled by fear and anxiety? How can we feel that we have a rightful place in the world? For some people these come naturally. For others guidance and understanding are instrumental in helping us achieve our goal of living a happy, productive life, absent regret and anger. Do you find yourself in one of these categories: Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you worried about things you have no control over? How can one stay strong and focused when everything is perceived as confusing, challenging and collapsing?

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf" is a Jon Kabat-Zinn quote relevant to these challenging times.

Now accepting new clients with availability that includes weekends and evenings for additional flexibility as needed.

Sometimes life can be stressful and overwhelming leaving you feeling as if you are trying to climb out of a hole or as if you are continuously running with no destination. Therapy can help you make changes in your life by helping with achieving goals, and modifying your overall perspective and the way you manage the stressors that you face. Deciding to embark on the therapeutic journey is not an easy decision but the first step in achieving change. I specialize in working with adults that are struggling with transitional issues including changes professionally, in family, as well as yearns to resolve voids in their romantic life.

I am a NY State licensed psychotherapist with a MSW from Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been helping individuals and families understand and manage anxiety, depression & other mood disorders, relationship and career challenges, life transitions, sexual & gender identity, family dynamics, chronic illness, grief & loss. Through a holistic, psychodynamic approach, I combine principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and stress management. I strive to help my clients feel supported, contained and challenged to enhance their awareness and coping skills, reach their goals and fulfill their potential.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a daunting task. It is difficult to make changes and break unhealthy patterns and anxiety and depression can feel crippling. Therapy can play a large role in helping individuals lead happier, more productive lives. We all face challenges but with the proper support, your challenges do not need to define you or stop you from achieving happiness and success. I believe in treating each patient as an individual. While my orientation is primarily psychodynamic I also use Emotionally Focused Tapping (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Finding your way through the rough patches can be difficult. Sometimes we get stuck in the brambles of anxiety, stress, depressed mood, a difficult life transition, or an unhappy relationship. We can feel at a loss for how best to move forward. Having a skilled and compassionate guide can help you avoid dead ends and find your way home. During our time together, I will roll up my sleeves and work to empower you with the tools and support you can use to improve your mood, reduce anxiety, cope with stress, navigate difficult life transitions, and create emotionally intelligent relationships.

Vulnerability allows for a transformative experience. Nothing you bring to the session is "too much" or “too little”, I will always celebrate your honesty with genuine empathy and curiosity. I believe that we must feel our feelings deeply to inspire insight, growth, and change. Our collaborative efforts involve delving into your thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to better understand your internal world. Together, we will work to help you identify distressing beliefs and cycles, build upon your strengths, and navigate how you'd like to change the patterns that no longer serve you.
