My Why
Hi, Im Jaclyn. I am a therapist and I am also a parent. I have over two decades of experience working with families in both academic and clinical settings. I can relate to the struggle from all sides of the situation and bring compassion and understanding. I offer warmth while still be able to be direct. Holding space for curiosity and connection, we will problem solve together so things start to feel less overwhelming and more manageable. I understand the neuroscience while being able to relate to the day to day moments, helping you make sense of what is happening for you and your child.
I come to this work honestly: As a child I watched my parents struggle and wanted nothing more than for everyone in the family to get along. When I became a parent, I found myself taking care of everyone’s everything, especially their feelings. Until I realized that was not sustainable, realistic or helpful for me or anyone else.
That is why I am doing what I am doing now. Offering the space for you to experience some relief. You don’t have to make sure everyone is okay all the time. How about you start with just you.
