Whether helping a child struggling with focus in school, a teen experiencing social anxiety, or an adult battling persistent sadness and overwhelm, Jaclyn brings a calm, supportive presence and evidence-based medication strategies to every session. She understands the importance of treating the whole person—factoring in lifestyle, environment, and co-occurring issues to develop a plan that supports real-life goals. She is particularly passionate about working with patients affected by trauma, grief, and substance use. Jaclyn is skilled in supporting individuals who have experienced PTSD, including veterans and first responders, as well as those coping with major life transitions, loss, or complex emotional pain. Her approach emphasizes safety, respect, and restoring hope, especially for those who have felt misunderstood or overlooked in the past.

Her inclusive practice welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals with diverse neurocognitive and emotional needs.

Outside of her professional work, Jaclyn enjoys spending time with family and friends, teaching, and exploring new places. She finds balance through reading, nature, and home improvement projects, and she brings this same sense of curiosity and growth into her clinical care.
