Jacqueline is currently completing a dual Master’s in Couple + Family Therapy and Dance Movement Therapy with Antioch University New England.  After over a decade of working as a movement rehabilitation educator, Jacq felt called to investigate unease within the psyche and the connection between the physical, emotional, and spiritual body. 

Her approach is person-centered, collaborative, and holistic. Jacq believes the mind, body, and spirit are integral aspects of the therapeutic journey.  Her focus is to facilitate the desired changes identified by each client and to work at their pace towards their desired goals.

The pain we hold is more than just our own.  Working through trauma means not only healing our individual experiences, but also building an awareness around how cultural, systemic, and intergenerational traumas impact our lived experience.  Our bodies carry both the pain and the strength of our ancestors, there is an inherent wisdom that resides within our bodies.

Jacq is a fan of exploring the natural world from hiking, cross country skiing, and stand up waterboarding.  She carries out most outdoor adventures with her furry sidekick Lola.   A devoted live music fan, follower of celestial events, and crystal collector – she finds peace in the mountains and thrives on trying new cuisine.
