Jacqueline has a gentle and calm approach with clients. Her goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance where clients are comfortable sharing their stories either verbally, through art, sand, or play. She has experience working with neurodiverse children in partnership with parents and over a decade in child intervention working with crisis, family violence, and abuse. She has gained experience at the Calgary Counselling center and through training at the Rocky Mountain Play Institute. Jacqueline approaches everything with a trauma informed and attachment based lens.
Jacqueline uses research based tools that best fit the needs of her clients and draws from a variety of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy tools (DBT), mindfulness, play therapy (including art and sand tray), solution focused, and Gottman (couples).
