Meet Jackie
Your Ally in Overcoming Anxiety and Building Confidence
Hi! I’m Jackie- a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with 15 years of experience helping teens navigate the challenges of anxiety, perfectionism, and overwhelming stress. I know what it's like to be an anxious, high-achieving teen because I’ve been there myself. As a former overachiever, I’ve walked the path of constantly striving for perfection, battling the fear of failure, and feeling like there’s never enough time to do everything “perfectly.”
I earned my master's degree from New York University, where I learned not only the clinical tools to help others, but also developed a deep understanding of the pressure that high-achieving teens face in today’s fast-paced world. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with hundreds of teens, empowering them to face their fears, manage their stress, and overcome the challenges of perfectionism.
I’m especially passionate about using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help teens process and heal from past trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks. This cutting-edge approach allows us to target the root causes of your child's anxiety quickly and shift the way they respond to stress in the future.
My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where your teen can be themselves, explore their feelings, and build the skills they need to thrive. I’m here not just to help them manage their anxiety—but to help them transform their relationship with themselves and the world around them.
