Hi there I'm Jacquie, If you need help getting past stuck points, patterns of unwanted behavior, or just don't know where to start, I'm here to help. I have a great deal of empathy and take great care in working with clients. I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, or who are dealing with significant trauma history. I not only help my clients' cope with their problems but work at healing the root of the issue. I bring presence, patience, perspective, persistence and a bit of playfulness into the therapy room. I also strive to be culturally affirming, uphold the dignity and worth of every person, and work towards social justice in the way I interact with the world and in my practice.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Starting therapy can be tough and scary. But most clients I work with walk away feeling more at ease after a session. I am gentle but will encourage and challenge you in areas that can help you grow. I work to ensure that you walk away more confident, more aware of your inner landscape, and a stronger sense of self.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Using a person centered approach throughout the therapeutic experience, I pull from several therapeutic modalities and treatment approaches to get you where you want to be, including: EMDR, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Somatic Experiencing Interventions, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Based Interventions, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work hard to help my clients and deeply care for their well-being. You will get someone who is invested in you and your growth. If you need help getting past stuck points, patterns of unwanted behavior, or just don't know where to start, I'm here to help. I specialize in working with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Sexual Abuse Survivors, and Veterans. I have experience working with teenagers who have also experienced trauma and am certified in Trauma Focused-CBT.
