Jackie is the first therapist I’ve ever looked forward to seeing. She’s incredibly present, warm, and grounded—able to get to the root of things without it feeling heavy. Our sessions are not just healing—they’re enjoyable. Jackie brings a rare mix of insight, emotional safety, and genuine care. She’s by far the most capable and wholesome therapist I’ve worked with, and I trust her completely. I’m truly grateful to have found her.

Jackie is a compassionate and great listener. Talking to Jackie has helped me incorporate CBT techniques into my life and make changes to feel happier and healthier. She is always prepared for our sessions and brings her wisdom and experience into our conversations, plus a deep understanding of the impact of cultural dynamics. She is funny, authentic, and challenges me to explore inwards to consider how certain thought patterns have emerged, prompting discussion by asking insightful questions.
Throughout my career, I have worked with numerous clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has been a highly effective approach in my therapeutic practice, providing clients with a pragmatic and goal-oriented framework for addressing their concerns.

This method has proven effective for clients seeking short-term therapy and those looking to achieve specific goals efficiently. My training and experience with SFBT have equipped me with the skills to guide clients through a collaborative and solution-oriented process.
