Meet Jacqui

My therapeutic style is somatic, relational, and healing-justice informed. I come from a deep belief that our bodies hold stories, wisdom, and pathways toward transformation, and that healing happens when we listen to what both the mind and body are communicating. I create spaces that are culturally attuned, trauma-responsive, and affirming of your whole life experience. Therapy with me is grounded in presence, curiosity, and compassion, always shaped by your pace, your goals, and the truths you bring.

You might be seeking support if old wounds continue to show up in your present life, if your body carries memories you don’t yet have words for, or if you feel disconnected from your sense of self, culture, or ancestral strength. You may notice yourself feeling stuck in familiar patterns that no longer serve you, or longing for care that includes creativity, culture, and spirit alongside emotional healing. If any of this resonates, you are welcome here.

Healing isn’t about fixing what is broken; it is a slow and intentional unearthing of what lives in your nervous system, your narrative, and your relationships. Together, we explore patterns of adaptation and survival, and gently examine how those same patterns can become pathways toward growth. Your story, as held in both body and heart, becomes the guide. Through increased somatic awareness, relational insight, and cultural resonance, we cultivate new ways of moving through life with greater presence, agency, and steadiness.

My work weaves together EMDR and advanced trauma-responsive methods, somatic awareness and nervous system attunement, expressive arts and play-based practices, Hip Hop–informed therapeutic work, and integrative body–mind approaches. These practices are held within restorative frameworks that honor culture, lineage, and community. Rather than using techniques in isolation, we allow them to speak to one another, shaping a healing process that is responsive, culturally grounded, and aligned with who you are.

Healing is with you, not done to you. Our work is a partnership rooted in mutual respect and care. You bring your lived experience and wisdom; I bring presence, training, and tools that help you deepen clarity and embodiment. In our space together, you are safe to be honest, curious, and real. I support you in building new neural, emotional, and relational pathways that feel grounded in who you are — not who you think you should be.

If you’re ready to explore healing that honors your mind, body, culture, and spirit — and to move into your life with more presence and intentionality — I invite you to reach out. I’m here to walk with you through this work with care, reverence, and respect for your journey.
