LCSW, 14 years of experience
Hello! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of dedicated experience, my passion lies in providing comprehensive support to individuals across all stages of life, with a specialized focus on children, families, and adults. Through a deeply rooted commitment to fostering emotional well-being, I have honed my skills in navigating complex emotional landscapes and empowering clients to overcome challenges. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can explore their emotions, build resilience, and achieve meaningful growth. My extensive experience equips me with a wealth of knowledge and insight, enabling me to tailor interventions that address the unique needs of each individual and family I work with. I am dedicated to facilitating positive change and fostering holistic well-being, and I am excited to embark on this journey of support and transformation with you.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, review confidentiality, policies and other housekeeping items. The purpose of that session will be focused on gaining a better understanding of where you are, what's happened, and how that has been impacting your level of functioning. We'll outline a goal or goals of what you'd like to focus on and develop a treatment plan.
My primary focus is on cultivating an environment where you feel secure, truly listened to, and profoundly supported. Leveraging my extensive experience and comprehensive understanding of diverse therapeutic modalities, I'm committed to tailoring our sessions to align with your unique objectives and aspirations. Your well-being and progress are my utmost priorities, and I'm dedicated to empowering you on your journey towards growth and fulfillment.
I enjoy meeting clients whereever they may be. My clients have experienced an awareness of their current challenges and it's impact on their mood and functioning. I support clients that have an openness to change, are motivated to engage in the therapeutic process and receptive to feedback.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used and highly effective approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. With 14 years of experience, I utilize this foundation to develop a collaborative approach, create a structured and goal oriented process.
Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on understanding and promoting human flourishing, well-being, and optimal functioning. I like to channel this approach to identify and cultivate strengths, virtues, and positive emotions. I like to support individuals with the discovery and cultivation of a sense of meaning and purpose, thereby supporting the individual's goals and actions with personal values and beliefs.

I look forward to every meeting I have with her. Jackie is very authentic and opened-minded. Helping me to become more empowering in my mind, challenging me to become more daring. Thanks to her encouragement I did my first 5K within 6 months of starting to talking about doing one, encouraging me in every session to continue to work hard on achieving my goal, which was to walk the 5k under an hour. On sat May 3, I walked/jogged the 5K under 45mins ( my very first 5K). Thank you Jackie.
