In-Person Psychotherapy

There are numerous therapeutic approaches and ways of conducting one-on-one therapy sessions. Jacqueline utilizes several different approaches and tailors them to each individual’s case.  This maximizes the therapeutic benefits of each session and facilitates growth towards each client’s goals.

Some of Jacqueline’s methods include:

  • Nervous system education and regulation

  • Modalities to safely process trauma

By introducing emotional, cognitive and behavioral changes, clients can achieve the goal of overall health and wellness.

Holistic Approach To Healing

As a psychotherapist and dedicated integrationist, my clinical practice is predicated on the neurobiological principle that sustainable healing requires a comprehensive synthesis of cognitive, affective, and physiological domains. I operate from the framework that while psychological distress is often categorized through narrative and emotion, the primary "record" of traumatic stress is encoded within the body’s subcortical structures and autonomic responses. My work moves beyond traditional inquiry to prioritize an understanding of the unique rhythm of the nervous system.

Traditional top-down modalities are invaluable; however, for many individuals, cognitive insight alone is insufficient for the resolution of deep-seated trauma. When an individual encounters overwhelming environmental stressors, the central nervous system may become unable to facilitate successful information processing. This results in memories becoming maladaptively stored as chronic autonomic dysregulation, somatic sensations, and persistent physiological bracing.

My commitment is to provide a biological bridge between these survival-based reflexes and the re-establishment of autonomic sovereignty. By moving the focus from pathologized symptoms to neurobiological literacy, we work to restore internal safety and self-governance. Through the integration of evidence-based somatic and neurological interventions, we facilitate the transition from reactive states to a state of physiological integration, allowing the system to finally return to its natural capacity for resilience.

Types of Therapy

  • As individuals, we experience a myriad of stressful and traumatic events. Oftentimes these events are so overwhelming that our system is unable to properly process what occurred. When this happens, the memory of events gets stored in our bodies in the form of emotions, somatic sensations, and negative beliefs about ourselves and our outside world. Traditional talk therapy may not be enough. However, EMDR is powerful therapeutic approach that helps you finish processing in a safe and supportive space. When traumatic memories are not properly processed, they can become maladaptively stored in the brain and easily triggered later in life, creating a host of symptoms.

  • Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-oriented approach designed to help you renegotiate survival responses. By shifting our focus from the story of the trauma to the story of the body—sensations, rhythms, and breath—we can slowly release bound energy and restore your system's natural capacity for resilience. My goal is to help you move from shame to science providing a biological bridge back to your own sense of sovereignty and internal safety.

  • The vagus nerve is the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. It allows our brain to communicate to the tissues and organs in our body. When we endure an extended amount of stress or trauma, our vagus nerve becomes hyperactive. While we have been taught that stress and trauma are emotions the real issue is that these experiences are stored in our body. When the vagus nerve is activated, it can impact numerous systems in our body like our hearts, our blood pressure, and our GI track. We may experience nausea, tunnel vision, ringing in the ears, tension in our body. When the mind suffers, the body suffers too. All of this comes back to the vagus nerve. In working with me, one of my goals is to educate you on your nervous system (NS) and the vagus nerve and equip you with techniques that help you better understand this phenomena through Polyvagal Theory.

  • I believe that the quality of a therapeutic relationship is the strongest predictor of therapeutic success. The therapeutic relationship, and especially what unfolds within it, offers powerful transformative potential. My goal is to use my therapeutic skill set to create a bond of trust, support, and respect as we work towards your therapeutic goals. My hope is that my attunement, presence, and support is one of the great catalysts in helping you heal.

  • I love the intersection between emotional and mental well being and our brain. I believe that understanding key aspects of the brain’s functionality helps build a foundation of compassion during the therapeutic process. Fundamental parts of the brain, specifically the frontal lobe, do not finish developing until age 25 and when we are emotionally activated the amygdala lights up like a fire alarm, sending thousands of psychophysiological responses into our body telling us to mobilize.

  • I believe that our earliest relationships with our primary caregivers profoundly impact how we see ourselves, our outside world, and what we know about love, security, and relationships. Relational trauma, such as emotional/physical neglect, abuse, or chronic invalidation, shapes how our brain operates and how we come to anticipate similar experiences later in life. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to support the reparative process through the therapeutic relationship.
