Everyone needs validation and support from time to time! Deciding to seek counseling can be scary but it is an important step that can be very empowering and fulfilling!

Hi there! I am hoping to join you in finding what you're look for out of therapy. My approach is to engage clients in the deeper process of looking within themselves to gain the insight they hope for. I have a balanced approach of going at your pace while providing the guidance that you need with whatever you're choosing process in sessions. At the same time, I help a client feel confident about knowing what's best for their life and I empower them to live their happiest lives. I work diligently at providing a warm, trusting, nurturing, compassionate, and non-judgmental space. I use different tools to fit the clients personal needs/goals. I am happy working with many different struggles as psychotherapy is my passion, while some of my more specific passions include: life changes/transitions, identity development and figuring out who you are or want to be, anxiety, trauma stemming from childhood, and working with clients who are experiencing pre/postpartum anxiety and depression. Lastly, I am licensed in NH & MA with 10+ years experience. I have my doctorate in clinical psychology and am a licensed mental health counselor. I am excited to hear from you so we can explore how I can support you! Kindly, Jacquie

It's important to me to be someone my clients can trust to be nonjudgemental, validating, and interested in understanding them better. I hope to support clients in exploring their values and relationships; increasing feelings of self-esteem and self-efficacy; building skills to cope with distress and pain; and recovering from experiences of trauma and invalidation. I particularly enjoy working with clients who identify as highly sensitive or who experience emotional intensity.

Having the ability to express yourself freely and without judgment is an essential part of therapy, and the relationship between client and therapist is a key aspect of this. As a social worker, I recognize the importance of human relationships and the environment we live in, as well as the negative impact they have on our ability to function. I utilize a person-centered, strengths based approach to understand individuals as a whole, and work collaboratively with clients to address their challenges and reach their goals. I provide individual therapy focusing on anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Identifying as a nonbinary lesbian myself, I understand how difficult it is to find a competent provider with whom you feel safe and understood. If you’ve made it this far, I encourage you to take the next step and reach out so we can see if this would be a good fit for both of us.

Shoreline Wellness Center places a focus on talk therapy (psychotherapy) to help patients better manage the stress they encounter in their daily life. Working with a therapist has many benefits, such as coping with feelings, facing and solving problems, or changing behavioral patterns that are leading to some of your symptoms. In therapy, we don’t just talk about problems. The main goal is to develop a reasonable and doable solution. Sometimes you may have “homework” to complete for your therapist. This may include something like tracking your moods throughout the day, journaling about your thoughts, going out of your way to be social, or joining in activities that caused you to feel anxious in the past. Your therapist may even suggest for you to try to look at things differently or to learn new skills to use in your everyday life. Therapy focuses on current and past thoughts, feelings, and issues. Both are important, as they may very well be connected in some way. Discussing your challenges and having an open dialogue is the key to finding the solution to help your present and prepare for your future.
