Hello, My name is Jackie. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I'm dedicated to supporting my clients to navigate life challenges, experience emotional healing, and an improved quality of life. I believe in taking time to get to know you, and understand your world view and life experiences. I have extensive experience assisting clients in managing and reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship dynamics. I also offer therapy in Spanish language.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, then I would like to hear about what specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I provide therapeutic healing in an interactive, nonjudgmental, and encouraging therapeutic environment. As you embark on your therapeutic journey, I welcome the opportunity to walk with you on your road to self-discovery and emotional healing.
