I work with Children, Adolescents, Young Adults and their Families.
Child/Adolescent/Young Adult Therapist. Therapy does not have to be scary or mysterious - it is about learning skills and gaining insights that get you closer to feeling more you, feeling well and thriving. TEENS - Maybe you are not sure how someone you do not know yet can help you. I provide a respectful, transparent space in which you are better able to figure out what changes you want to make to improve your life. Parents/Caregivers - if you are struggling with your child's behavior (age 4-8), I welcome the opportunity to partner with you to help get things back on track.

For my youngest clients who often are unsuitable for online therapy, I work with their parents, making them the agent of change in their child's life, via CPRT ( Child Parent Relationship Therapy), teaching parents play therapy skills.
Being either a youth or a parent is hard work at the best of times. Then there are the challenging days: the days both youth and their parents don't feel like they are good enough, everything feels scarier than it used to feel, and they can't seem to find their joy. During the hard times, it is easy to forget that you have strengths that have gotten you through the tough patches, and they can get you through them again. Having someone who can value your uniqueness and partner with you when brainstorming and implementing solutions can be both affirming and healing.

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.

I use evidence-based, neurobiologically informed principles and interventions to help children, teens, adults & families develop their voice, discover their strengths and grow to be the best version of themselves.
There is no manual for parenting. You may have a child or teen moving through the world looking through a neurodivergent lens. They may seem more sensitive, reactive or demand avoidant then their peers. Perhaps you are noticing your own sensory system is getting overloaded when your kids are pushing your buttons. Maybe your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, OCD or generalized anxiety disorder and you are realizing that you are a lot like your child but it never occurred to you that you may be neurodivergent yourself. Perhaps your child is gender expansive or LGBTQI+ and you are working hard to best understand them.

Starting therapy for yourself or your child is a difficult task.
About 1 out of 7 youth in the U.S. have a treatable mental health disorder. If you are a parent who is struggling to support your child or teen, it is not too late to reach out for help. Maybe you have noticed your child being more distant or jumpy. Maybe you have seen a change in how they spend their time, or their grades are slipping. Many families have found it difficult to adjust during the pandemic. Helping children and families get back to or accept their new "normal" is what I'm good at.

No matter what age, children, teens, and even parents are always learning and need support to manage those challenges.
