(Dr. Jackie) Welcome. Whether you are gathering information or considering change, I hope you find something useful on this site. If you are feeling the need for something to be different, you are at an important point. This is because emotional struggle, while difficult, produces the motivation to begin the growth process. Essentially, emotional pain cries out, “This can’t be all there is to life!” And you’re right. There is so much more for you, and your pain can tell us what is needed for healing and fulfillment.

For over ten years, I have helped people recognize that their fear, despair, self-sabotaging beliefs, negative relationship patterns, and harmful behaviors are vital messages of what is needed and what is blocking their ability to reach their full potential, develop satisfying relationships, and feel more alive. Within a therapeutic relationship of understanding, insight, and connection, you will experience greater clarity and courage to make positive changes. I see my role as helping you become more fully and authentically yourself.

My hope is that this site serves to give you more of a sense of who I am and how I think. If you would like to know more about how I understand emotional struggles and therapy, please read my “Philosophy” page.

If you would like to schedule an initial consultation so that we can see how we would work together, please don’t hesitate to call.
