If you're looking for help setting limits and boundaries or empowering your child to take ownership of their choices, I offer Child Parent Relationship Therapy to give you the tools and strategies for fostering lasting change at home.
Hi! I'm Jackie and my superpower is connecting with young people. I've been working with children and adolescents from around the globe for over 25 years. As an educator, I learned about the developmental stages that shape a child's needs, emotions, and behavior. Now, as a therapist, I'm thrilled to engage with children and their families in a way that builds strength and resilience. I received my MA in Counseling from NYU and a post-graduate certificate in Play Therapy from Antioch University where I discovered a passion for Play Therapy, Child-Parent Relationship Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy.

For children I engage via experiential, therapeutic games, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parent- child interaction therapy (PCIT).
I am accepting new clients. My clients are adults, children, and families. Adult clients are usually motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. Children often present internalized or externalized behavior problems and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore psychodynamic issues and collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.

We always want our children to have the best chance to grow and thrive.
As a long-time teacher, I love the energy that children and teens bring to their world. When changes in the family or challenges in the child or teen's social or academic world arise, difficult emotions and related behaviors can be a problem. No matter what age, children, teens, and even parents are always learning and need support to manage those challenges.

In my work with children, I utilize play therapy, as children usually do not express their feelings directly but do so figuratively though their play.
I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy and support to those who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal and family conflicts, job related stress, behavioral issues in children, parenting concerns and the impact of trauma, illness and life transitions. I am particularly interested in supporting families in their relationships with one another and I believe in encouraging choices that are nurturing to all family members.

I connect with children by learning the language of how they express themselves.
I work with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, family changes, challenging peer relationships and the behaviors that can result from these issues. I have training and experience using Play Therapy and Sandplay, which employ children's natural way of communicating and learning, as well as other therapeutic modalities as appropriate to each individual. My approach is client centered and often non-directive, believing that when children experience emotional safety in a non-judgmental relationship, their inner wisdom naturally emerges to guide their learning, healing and growth.
