Therapy that helps you reclaim your story

How I Can Help

  • Healing trauma & PTSD- Process childhood wounds, relationship betrayals, or other distressing events through EMDR so triggers lose their grip.

  • Recovery from narcissistic or emotional abuse- Rebuild self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover a sense of worth after controlling or toxic relationships.

  • Perinatal & fertility support- Navigate IVF, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, and early parenthood with compassionate care.

  • Anxiety, depression, & grief relief- Reduce overwhelm, lift the fog, and cultivate daily coping skills that restore energy and hope.

  • Neurodivergent-affirming therapy- A sensory-aware, judgment-free space for ADHDers and every beautifully wired brain to thrive.

Why Clients Work With Me

  • Trauma-informed expertise- I rely on evidence-based EMDR (advanced training for certification in progress) to help you process painful memories and feel genuine relief.

  • Collaborative, judgment-free space- Every session is paced to your comfort level and tailored to your personal goals- never a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Convenient telehealth- Secure video sessions, weekend appointment options, and insurance-friendly billing make therapy fit into real life.

  • Client-centered focus- Our work zeroes in on exactly what you want to address, whether it's anxiety, relationships, or personal growth- your priorities guide each session.

Hi, I'm Jackie- I'm a Phoenix-based, board-licensed mental health counselor, new mom, and lifelong champion for resilience. My practice exists for people who've carried too much for too long- survivors of childhood or relationship trauma, parents navigating postpartum shifts, and anyone whose anxiety, grief, or depression feels louder than their own voice.I have over five years of experience working with children from infancy through age 17, including those involved in the foster care system. Since then, I have continued my work in private practice, supporting children, teens, and adults. My current focus is primarily on teens and adults navigating unique or challenging life circumstances, providing compassionate and individualized care tailored to their needs.Sessions are offered virtually across Arizona, giving you the flexibility to heal from a space that feels safe- whether that's your home office, your parked car during lunch, or your nursery while baby naps.I’m excited to be pursuing training in Internal Family Systems with completion expected in October 2025. Additionally, I'm currently pursuing the completion of my advanced certification hours in EMDR, as well as certification as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist. These approaches will enhance the support I offer clients, and I look forward to integrating them into my practice once fully trained.
