Meet Jackie – Your Partner in Healing and Growth

Licensed Therapist | Illinois | Virtual Therapy Sessions Available

Therapy isn’t about weakness—it’s about strength. The courage to face pain, accept it, and continue moving forward is a testament to resilience. I’m Jackie, a licensed therapist in Illinois, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field I’ve worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges. My career began in community mental health, where I provided support to diverse populations, before transitioning to outpatient therapy in 2018.

My passion lies in creating a safe, affirming space where people can explore their struggles, discover their strengths, and build a path toward personal growth. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, identity challenges, racial trauma, or mental health concerns, I provide a space free of judgment—where your story is heard, and your experiences are validated.

My Approach

As a therapist, I believe authenticity, humor, and connection are at the heart of healing. Our sessions are a space for both tears and laughter, where we can explore challenges while also celebrating progress. Social justice drives my work, and I am committed to supporting BIPOC, LGBTQIA++ individuals, and those navigating racial identity and trauma.

My ideal client is someone seeking guidance and support—not because they are broken, but because they are ready to take the next step toward healing. Together, we will build a bridge to recovery, creating a space where you can grow, heal, and thrive.

Let’s Connect

If you’re ready to take that first step, I invite you to schedule a 1:1 virtual therapy session with me. You don’t have to do this alone—I’m here to support you.
