Hi, I’m Jackie —a British-born, NYU-trained therapist and executive coach with Jamaican roots. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in workplace stress, ADHD, substance use, and life transitions. I love working with people from all walks of life and creating an inclusive space where you feel supported and empowered.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with me?
You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to process what you're going through, along with tools and insights you can use right away. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’ll support you in building resilience, finding clarity, and feeling more confident in your next steps.
I began my professional life as a teacher, and that experience continues to shape the way I connect with people in therapy. I earned both my BA and MA in Education and spent 20 years in a variety of teaching roles before pursuing a master’s degree in Counseling. I later completed my doctoral degree in clinical psychology and have been practicing as a therapist for the past five years. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and OCD.
I also bring many years of experience providing neurodivergent-affirming therapy, and I value creating a space where people feel understood, supported, and accepted as they are.
