My Approach to Helping
Hi! I’m Jackie. I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in California, based in San Francisco, and I offer individual holistic psychotherapy for women. I specialize in working with highly sensitive women who may not always appear sensitive on the outside - those who feel deeply but tend to overthink, over-extend, and over-perform in order to avoid feeling overwhelmed. If this sounds like you, I’m so glad you’re here! You may have a clear sense of what brings you into therapy, or perhaps it’s not so clear - just a sense that something has felt off for a while and you are ready to seek support.
Sometimes the stressors in our lives are obvious, and at other times they are very subtle. In our work together I invite you to notice your real, present moment experience because whether or not the stressors are visible, the impact often is: including anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, perfectionism, guilt and shame, relationship issues or trauma.
