Licenses & Training: I hold a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

Our first session will consist of you telling me briefly about yourself, why are you seeking therapy, and what do you think you want to achieve out of therapy. I also am interested in any previous therapy (what worked and what didn't). I find this information to be useful to treatment approaches, schedules and flexibility.
My greatest strength is recognizing the characteristics of each individual and how does that characteristic support the individual in becoming a better version of themselves. I also believe active listening to clients and understanding what has impacted and influenced them is critical as to their decision making or lack thereof. I believe it is important for clients to tell what and who has shaped them.

My first 45-minute session with Jacqueline went well, but every appointment after that has been stressful. I rescheduled within the allowed timeframe, yet I continued receiving calls and texts for the original appointment while at work. When I asked how to avoid this in the future, I didn't feel my concern was handled professionally. Most recently, my scheduled session was a no-show. Overall, the scheduling and communication have been frustrating.

Jackie is always encouraging and insightful, she really ask questions that gets me thinking in different way, a more healthy way. It is blessing having her as my therapist.

She is present and empathetic to your situation. She’s bold and frank and sometimes tough love is what’s needed to pull you up and out of whatever you’re facing. I’ve learned to be real with myself and it’s a daily work not overnight!
