Meet Jaclyn

I have over a decade of experience in the field of clinical psychology, with particular expertise in helping clients experiencing high stress, anxiety, OCD, grief, depression, or trauma. My main priority is helping clients live a well-balanced and satisfying life. I utilize therapies with strong evidence behind them and collaborate closely with each client to create a unique treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. I am well-versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. Additionally, I incorporate work on lifestyle components impacting mood, such as sleep, weight management, nutrition, exercise, health concerns, and meditation.

I collaborate closely with each client to create a unique treatment plan tailored to their specific needs.
