Hi, I’m Jackie, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in trauma and anxiety. I work with adults who feel stuck in survival mode—struggling with chronic anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and constant overwhelm. I specialize in childhood trauma, relationship trauma, and first-generation stress, and I bring my Latina background into my work with clients who are navigating cultural expectations, family pressure, and the emotional weight of being “the strong one.” Using nervous-system-based, trauma-informed approaches, I help you move beyond just understanding your experiences to actually calming your nervous system.
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and practical. I help you heal anxiety and past experiences at the root, not just talk about them. Together, we work on calming your nervous system, easing perfectionism and people-pleasing, and helping you reconnect with what truly matters to you so life feels more grounded and manageable.
I work with clients to understand how their past—relationships, upbringing, and trauma—shows up in the present. In therapy, we focus on building coping tools, self-awareness, and resilience so you feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. Making sure we’re the right fit is important to me.
