Hi! My name is Jackie, and I'm a licensed clinician with 5yrs 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 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. 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.
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.
