A note from Jaclyn:
I became a therapist because I have always been passionate about pursuing a helping profession-one that nurtures growth and instills hope. I find it to be an honor and a privilege to play a part in the stories of my clients. I cannot imagine a more meaningful and rewarding career, one that is designed merely to decrease suffering and improve quality of life. I cherish those moments where I witness hope in the eyes of a client, recognition of his or her own greatness, or share a long-deserted laugh. I wake up feeling grateful each and every day for my clients and to get to do this type of work for a living. In my free time I enjoy reading, “Pelotoning”, traveling, and spending time with my friends, family, and the absolute light of my life: my French Bulldog, Stanley!
