Life is full of changes, and sometimes these changes come with challenges. Maybe you are experiencing relationship problems, or you’re in a stressful season; feeling isolated or overwhelmed. You might be interested in personal growth and development. These are just a few of the reasons that people seek counseling. Since you are looking for services that will fit your need, I will love to introduce myself:
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California and Texas, with nearly 15 years working as a psychotherapist. I have experience working with clients, face to face, in groups and through on-line connections. I am experienced in working with multiple issues such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem and confidence issues, relationship concerns, domestic violence, parenting, trauma/PTSD, anger management, and personal growth. My approach to therapy is empathetic and supportive. I encourage my clients to express their needs, desires, and share what they hope to get out of therapy. I am supportive of all people, and honor diversity. I often utilize CBT techniques to challenge and change negative thinking patterns, Narrative Therapy, EMDR and Mindfulness practices.
You don't have to live with more fear than hope. I encourage you to use your heart, soul and mind to be calm, centered, and balanced. Carl Bard once said, "though no one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start today and make a brand-new ending".
I am available to support you during your life transition, self-growth and renewed healing. You are already taking the first step to making positive changes in your life. I look forward to working with you!

Jacqueline has been an incredible guide through the dynamic roller coaster of my life. I look forward to every session we have. She feels like family, like a warm wise auntie that is grounding and encouraging and really helps me see through my self. I’m so grateful to have her in my life!

I am so sad that I moved out of state and can no longer have her as my therapist. Jacqueline is incredible, I very much enjoyed working with her. Jacqueline's feedback was actionable, relevant, tailored to me and my needs. She quickly understood the complexities and interconnectedness of the issues that I was facing. If I ever provided feedback on advice she gave, she was quick to pivot and find meaningful alternatives that worked better for me. I'll miss her.

Jaqueline is a gift. She does so much more than deeply listen—she helps problem solve with me. Better yet, she asks me the right questions to empower me to solve my own problems. I am so grateful that BetterHelp has led me to choosing her as my therapist. what a great user experience!
