Hi, I’m Jackie, a California-based psychotherapist and creativity coach with a passion for helping young adults cultivate holistic well-being and supporting artists and creatives in moving through blocks and reconnecting with their joy.

A recovering blocked artist myself, from a long line of artists (both lived and un-lived), I know firsthand the struggles of self-doubt, perfectionism, and creative paralysis.

In undergrad, I studied the psychology of creativity through the lenses of poetry and printmaking at New York University’s Gallatin School. Later, I earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and completed trainings in creativity coaching and expressive arts therapy. In between, I worked in creative fields such as the music industry and the gourmet food world.

With six years of experience as a psychotherapist, teacher, and mentor, I’ve worked with everyone from toddlers to teens to adults, using psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and play and creative arts therapy in both online and in-person settings.

Now, through my online therapy and creative attunement offerings, I blend together all of these approaches and experiences to help you heal and grow.
