My name is Jackie, and I'm a licensed clinician with 5+yrs of professional work experience, working with adults, couples, teens and families. As a proud Millennial living in the Bay Area, I know all too well how it feels to live through and experience an unprecedented amount of "once in a lifetime" crises. I'm here to be with you through struggles and to help you find a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
I help my clients with difficulties such as stress and anxiety, relationship issues, self-identity dilemmas, family conflicts and depression. My counseling style is fairly laidback but I'm also likely to come in with some hard truths and matter-of-fact observations. I have been described as supportive, caring, and passionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. Reaching out for help takes a lot of courage and I'm proud of you for taking that first step.
During our first session together, I'll share a little bit about myself and how I work, but I'd love to spend majority of the first session learning about you, about what you're going through, what brings you into therapy at this time and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. Your time is valuable, so I want to make sure that you're getting value out of our time together. I strive to provide a safe and open environment where my clients can feel secure to explore themselves and find their truth, without fear of judgment.
