What People Are Saying

“Jackie’s session at our student orientation was rated the highest of all the sessions and activities. We can’t wait to have her back for more opportunities to engage with our students and staff!”

- Lauren West, VP Study Abroad/Gap Year at EF

“Jackie has helped me manage my anxiety so much this past year, and has given me techniques I can do by myself as well. Jackie has been a major part in my healing process, and wants nothing but success for you, regardless of the cards you’ve been dealt. I’m so grateful for our sessions thus far.”

-Sloane P., client

“Since I have been working with Jackie, I have seen not only growth within myself, but a serious decrease with my anxiety. She is PHENOMENAL. I can be my most vulnerable self, cry & spill my heart out without feeling insecure or judged. If you had a hard time finding where to start, seriously look no further.”

-Sienna C., client

“Jackie has a way of being gentle yet honest in her counseling, while confronting the places within that need healing. She's extremely thoughtful and clear, and it's obvious how passionate she is about her patients and her practice. I appreciated how she is empathetic, yet also constructive. Extremely appreciative! Highly recommend!!”
