Jacqueline is truly one of a kind. I've worked with several therapists and psychologists over the…read moreyears, but I've never experienced such profound personal evolution. Rather than rehashing the past, her approach focuses on deep connection, science-based strategies, and building meaningful tools that create lasting change. While I've put in plenty of hard work alongside her, the immersive, holistic process has moved the needle in real and measurable ways. While we sought and still seek her support and professional awesomeness for our growth in our marriage, and individually building better ways to think and be, a whole additional win with her guidance - I've struggled with insomnia my entire life--averaging just 2-3 hours of sleep for nearly five years--which impacted every part of my wellbeing. Since beginning this work, I'm now sleeping 5-6 hours regularly, a life-changing improvement. My partner and I initially came for relationship growth, but we've both experienced monumental, lasting personal shifts. I understand myself and my partner far more deeply, feel untethered from guilt and doubt, and carry a greater sense of peace and perspective. I've done (and shared) EQ analysis, aligned with DiSC assessment, and plenty of others... but the tools, questions, and techniques Jacqueline brings a specialized, cross-cultural lens on emotions and behaviors that have catalyzed meaningful growth for both of us. Her goal isn't lifelong dependency with her as guide--she's focused on identifying opportunities for progress, offering thoughtful, non-repetitive strategies, and empowering lasting change. There are no quick fixes--just mindful, guided adjustments that build emotional and intellectual strength over time with rapid fire focus and continuity. I always leave sessions feeling more grounded, more capable, and completely myself. Truly remarkable.

We have been working together for over eight years and she has taken the time to understand and relate to me, ground and uplift me, share ideas, and help to develop and plan actionable steps to work on many different parts of my life. I always feel a sense of deep love and productivity- a winning combination! She has seen me through thick and thin, good times and bad, and has coached me through many topics including relationship issues, loss of life, work transitions, and inner self care, just to name a few. In a previous relationship I was in, she also worked with each of us individually as well as a couple. She worked with such care to attend to our individual needs, sensitivity to maintain individual privacy when needed, and encouragement to come together wish insight and ideas to help each other see eye to eye with more compassion and with small, actionable steps to work on together or individually. It was a perfect balance! I always highly recommended her to many of my friends whom some, in turn, have reached out to her for personal or couples therapy. She will be the biggest cheerleader in your corner and truly cares about each individual and their positive development. She is also very flexible to work with and you will find ease and comfort in her care. If you are thinking of giving her coaching/therapy a try, don't wait another day, give her a call!

I am always in awe of how grounded I feel and how normalized I feel, even with the myriad of complex problems have brought up to her throughout my life. I can confidently say that since about 2015/2016 onward, I know that no matter what I am going through, if I ever look to Flo, she is always there for me. She checks in as well and always reminds me that she can hold space for me and that is really valuable to feel after the session is over. She has also made it a point to have access to accountability check-ins, such as quick texts, after any difficult times. I always have liked both the in-person counseling that she has provided as well as over the phone when times are busy or during pandemic. I also recommended this to countless friends, and one friend in particular checked back in with me years later and told me how valuable Flo has been for her too. What a treat to know that I also inadvertently helped a friend just through a quick recommendation. If you are thinking about meeting Flo, leave the doubts behind you because once you meet her and are in her presence both in person or virtually/phone, you will know you have found a safe space to release whatever it is you are going through. Thank you Flo, you have been nothing short of amazing and words cannot summarize the help you have provided me.
