Her expertise encompasses trauma, anxiety, panic, depression, and adjustment disorders. Trained in an array of evidence-based treatment modalities, she utilizes mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and creative interventions like art, music, and play therapy for children, alongside family systems therapy for families. Jacqueline is dedicated to fostering a safe environment where clients can engage in open and honest communication, and she is honored to assist them in discovering new strategies for coping and realizing their full growth potential.
