she/her
Hi, I’m Jackie! As a therapist, my goal is to empower and support individuals in living fully and authentically. I bring curiosity, empathy, and dedication to my work, with a focus on helping those affected by eating disorders and other mental health challenges. I practice from a trauma-informed and HAES-aligned perspective. I will always meet you where you are and work with you to discover the goals that matter most to you in therapy.

I live by the DBT philosophy of building a life worth living.
It’s even my phone background! Nerdy I know. My goal is to help you achieve this as well. I approach therapy with empathy, self-compassion, and respect for your unique journey. I have dedicated the last 5 years of my practice focusing on eating disorders, trauma, and the struggles that come with life transitions. I am dedicated to tailoring therapy to your needs and your life; always open to feedback and collaboration.
About Me
When I’m not working, I love exploring new places with my dog, Rocky, visiting craft shows around the state, and browsing the shelves at Barnes & Noble. I’m known for being crafty and a bit silly, enjoying the little joys in life.
We'd be a good fit if...
- You or a loved one are struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns and want specialized treatment to help facilitate recovery
- Are looking for a collaborative approach and open to learning new ways of thinking
- You’re curious about exploring who you are and expanse your knowledge about yourself
- You want to create a life worth living and sharing!
