Hi, Iām Jaci!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and a therapist with Rooted.
My therapy approach: I am not here to tell you what is best for you, but to support you in finding your way forward in whatever way feels right for you. In our work together, we can develop and nurture your inner resilience to allow your pain to move through you.
I believe in finding ways to harness our experiences and express our innermost emotions in ways that feel authentic to our values, culture, beliefs, and overall life perspective. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients through the parts of their journey where they are feeling stuck or isolated- whether it may be due to a life transition, depression, anxiety, trauma, or broader world stress.
I utilize a person-centered and narrative approach, integrating expressive modalities of healing and strengths-based techniques tailored to your goals and needs. My background is in crisis and trauma work, as well as LGBTQ+ and BIPOC advocacy. I am committed to creating an inclusive and affirming space where all of my clients feel respected and valued.
