I would highly recommend Jackie as a therapist to anyone looking for a highly qualified clinician. What stands out to me most about Jackie is her ability to listen without judgment or bias. I always feel that she hears what I am saying and helps me work through some challenges. Whether that is validating my feelings or challenging me to have a different perspective, I always feel like our sessions are helpful and effective. Her warm and nurturing personality helped me feel at home right off the bat. I recommend her to anyone in the market for a new therapist!
