I work with deep feelers, overthinkers, cycle-breakers, and people in transition who are ready to release the old emotional stories they no longer want to live inside. My approach is warm, intuitive, grounded, and collaborative. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, protective responses, and inner agreements that may have formed through pain, survival, heartbreak, family dynamics, identity shifts, or repeated relational wounds. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand what their emotions are trying to protect, and begin relating to themselves with more clarity, compassion, and choice. My work supports emotional release, self-trust, nervous system awareness, healthier boundaries, and the gradual return to one’s own voice, body, truth, and power.

I'm a NYC native, a mom, a community member, and a Licensed Clinician with over 18 years of experience.

This taught me resilience isn't just a buzzword, it's a practice. I practice what I preach. I believe deeply in therapy not as a last resort, but as an everyday act of self-care and courage.

I'm Jackie — a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor who genuinely loves this work. I trained at NYU Silver and spent years in community mental health, inpatient, and outpatient settings before opening my private practice. I wanted something less clinical and more human. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, relationship struggles, and the kind of life transitions that leave you wondering who you even are anymore. A lot of my clients grew up in homes that felt unpredictable or unsafe — homes where they learned early to read the room, manage everyone else's feelings, and keep the peace at their own expense. They've been the capable one for so long that asking for help feels almost foreign. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. Sessions feel more like a real conversation than a formal appointment. I'll help you understand the patterns underneath the surface stuff — why you react the way you do, where it came from, and what to do about it now. We'll draw from CBT, DBT, and IPT, building real skills along the way. Sometimes you'll leave with something to try between sessions; other times, something to sit with and think about. My style is warm, direct, and skills-focused. I'll meet you where you are and gently push when it serves your growth, because real change usually means getting a little uncomfortable in a safe space. Humor shows up too — the hard stuff goes down easier when we can laugh at parts of it. Asking for help isn't weakness. It's one of the braver things you can do.
