Jacqui is an experienced clinical psychologist and loves to work with both children and adults. She believes in a collaborative therapeutic process and tailors therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Jacqui commonly works with anxiety, trauma, depression, and adjustment challenges. A special focus of Jacqui's practice is on the perinatal period and early parenting, offering support to parents during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Recognizing that starting therapy can be a daunting process, Jacqui is committed to creating a warm and supportive environment.
