Hi, I’m Jackie!

You may be carrying more than you let on, whether it’s stress that won’t let up, anxiety or sadness that’s starting to take over, conflict at home, or a big life change you weren’t ready for. I work with teens, adults, parents, caregivers, and families of all cultures and walks of life. For many of us, especially in Island communities, reaching out for therapy isn’t something we were raised to do. We’re taught to keep things in the family or just push through. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.

I help clients work through trauma, anxiety/depression, substance use, stress, self-esteem, emotional regulation, communication, parenting, and life transitions. Taking an integrative, strengths-based approach, I combine awareness of past patterns with CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, always honoring your culture and lived experiences.

Feeling unsure about counseling is normal, and that’s welcome here. You don’t need to have the right words or have everything figured out before reaching out. We’ll work together as partners, at your pace. Wherever you are in your journey, there is always a way forward, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
