LMFT, 7 years of experience
Hello there, my name is Jackie. I’d like to start by saying it brings me great joy that you are here making time for yourself! Allow me to ask, what brought you here today? Is it fears…traumas… distractions… hardships…loss… endless worries… striving for something meaningful? If you’re finding it hard to answer, “where do I go from here?,” then arriving at this thought is exactly where you need to be to make the decision to create your own path . As you reach this crossroads I offer you tools to support you in bringing to light the barriers that prevent you from uncovering your full potential. I invite you to show up for yourself as you journey through the mountains and valley’s that are the wonders of your life.
I begin by offering guidance on how our time will be spent with a focus on getting familiar with one another along with offering the spotlight to the catalyst for beginning therapy which will be brought to light by questions from both myself and you.
There is great strength in self-awareness and courage in facing the unknown. As your therapist, I am committed to being my authentic self and walking alongside you on your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
I strongly orient to populations including Latinos, generational immigration, athletes, women, professionals, parents, students, different phases of adulthood, grief, pro substance use and life transitions.
In my experience of providing therapy there is often fundamental truths in the form of core beliefs that shape thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can be uncovered by sifting through the past to create a deeper understanding of oneself and relationships with other, along with promoting insight, and increasing insight to patterns in order to resolve conflicts and improve coping mechanisms.
Ensuring that a safe and accepting environment is established to foster a therapeutic relationship this humanistic approach creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment that invites exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences to further self-insight and personal growth.

I had an initial intake visit with Jackie and I immediately felt like she was going to be the right fit for me. I read reviews before selecting my therapist, and a lot had good reviews, but I felt something when I saw her profile. I am so glad I chose Jackie and I look forward to working with her.

Jackie is so kind, welcoming, encouraging, and feels like a friend you can share anything with, but will also give you a real perspective and real feedback. There are no moments of judgement or question whether she is listening and hearing me. I'm so grateful I found her.

Looking for therapy Jackie’s profile stood out to me. On our intake call she was very understanding and let me express all the emotions and feelings i was having.
