My name is Jaclyn, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California, practicing for six years.
My approach is client-led, ensuring sessions are tailored to individual needs while equipping clients with practical tools for growth. With a supportive, warm, and empathetic presence, I help clients navigate challenges, fostering trust and empowerment in their journey toward healing.
First session
At the start of your therapeutic journey, we will begin by introducing ourselves and addressing what it is you hope to achieve through therapy. We will review intake paperwork leading us to engage in a conversation to create goals for ongoing session that best support your growth and healing. During this time, we will have the opportunity to see if my style of therapy meets your needs. If not, I can provide referrals to other therapists that best support your needs.
Strengths
I believe my greatest strength as a provider is creating an environment for you to feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable to be yourself. Therapy isn’t about 'quick fixes'—that’s the band-aid effect. Therapy is about building a deeper relationship with yourself, understanding your needs, and creating meaningful change.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are eager to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. I am particularly focused on those who are committed to personal growth, seeking to explore their inner world and make meaningful changes to enhance their well-being and achieve their goals. I appreciate working with individuals who approach self-reflection with curiosity and a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process authentically.
Treatment methods
Humanistic
My preferred approach is humanistic therapy. This method allows me to assist my clients enhance self-awareness and attain personal growth. You, as the client, guide the session. By utilizing this supportive and empathetic therapeutic style, I am able to help guide my clients to achieve their personal goals.
Somatic
I use somatic therapy approaches to help clients tune into their mind and body connection. We explore breathwork, mindful movement, and visualization to connect emotions stored in the body. This process allows clients to access stored emotions, promoting healing and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy to work with clients on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, helping them develop healthier thinking and emotional regulation for a more fulfilling life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness, manage stress, and enhance emotional regulation to help with daily tasks.
Psychodynamic
Using psychodynamic therapy, I guide clients to explore past experiences that have shaped negative thought and behavioral patterns, helping clients gain insight into how these experiences influence their current behaviors and relationships.
