For thirty years, I worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and Supervisor for a State VR Program in Michigan. Motivational Interviewing and cognitive techniques have dominated my counseling and coaching approaches throughout my profession. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed with mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, and who struggle with multiple life adjustments. I approach each individual I serve with dignity, respect, kindness, and the belief that I can be instrumental in assisting with life's journey and challenges.

She has helped me more than I can put Into words. Jaqueline knows how to listen, comprehend and help me figure out the solutions that fit best for my life. She comes unbiased to each session and shows me what unconditional help and accountability look like. She never hesitates to praise my victories as well as reveal light within my dark times. I’ve never had someone show such kindness, compassion and understanding and she makes me feel powerful. She has been one of the best things to happen to me in the last 3 years and I couldn’t imagine I’d be where I am without her.
