About

Hi There, I'm Jackie

I see resiliency everywhere. I am a fan of the underdog and I think each of us has the ability to spark change, both within ourselves and in others.

I have worked in public safety for 23 years, I recognize the importance of finding a culturally competent therapist who you can relate to. I became a therapist because of my experience as a first responder. I seek to break down the barriers and the stigma we often face when seeking help.

I am an advocate of authenticity and believe we must be vulnerable and courageous to move forward in life.

I am here to empower you to live your life and help create the positive changes you would like to see.

Treatment

Support for:

Trauma/Post Traumatic Stress

Having traumatic experiences is very common. Most people will have at least one traumatic experience during their lifetime; many will have more. Everyone is affected by traumatic experiences; but the effects differ. There are differences in how severe, how long-lasting and how much the impact affects everyday life. When the distress is very intense or goes on too long, treatment that directly addresses the trauma can be very helpful.

Over time, chronic exposure to high-stress situations can lead to post-traumatic stress. Unaddressed, these painful experiences can lead to sleep disturbances, painful flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and addiction.

Due to the non-stop, high-stress nature of the job, military personnel and first responders who are dealing with trauma and stress don't have the opportunity to stop and process what they've been through.

Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy

When you’ve tried different types of therapy, but still feel like you are unable to heal, Ketamine-assisted therapy is a science-backed, alternative, safe way to create lasting change and healing in transformative ways.

As the only legal psychedelic medicine available to mental health providers for the treatment of emotional suffering, it has proven to help people with treatment-resistant mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD and other forms of trauma.

Anxiety

Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear.

Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; learn how to relax; look at situations in new, less frightening ways; and develop better coping and problem-solving skills. Therapy gives you the tools to overcome anxiety and teaches you how to use them.

Relationships

We are shaped by our social world and relationships, having good relationships is essential for our wellbeing and self-esteem. Our experience of emotional distress is connected to relational issues.

Relational therapy explores how past experiences shape us and our patterns of relating to others. It aims to equip individuals with new and more helpful ways of interacting in the present. This, in turn, improves our relationships and connections with others.

Depression

Depression is not the same as sadness. Everyone has a bad day now and again or may feel extreme sadness from time to time. But sadness and other unpleasant emotions usually pass through the mind and disappear, while depression lingers for weeks or more. And beyond just impacting the way you feel, depression also carries a wide variety of symptoms that can affect day-to-day life at home, work or school.

Public Service Spouse/Significant Other Support

Being the spouse or partner of a first responders or military person is hard. There are significant challenges you faced that are not always addressed or known by others.

Partners and spouses are affected by their loved one’s critical incidents (resulting in secondary or vicarious trauma), and may also be experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety. In addition, spouses and partners may have their own trauma histories, which are re-activated when their loved ones experience a traumatic event.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, isolation, suicidal thoughts, sleep problems, relationship stress, work difficulties, the loss of a spouse or partner, domestic abuse or violence, addiction issues, are having trouble coping with daily activities, etc., then you should seek help.
