Who is Jacalyn?

I’m personable, genuine, and laid-back. Those who know me describe me as enthusiastic and warm, with a knack for making people feel at ease. During our sessions, you’ll feel like you’re chatting with someone you’ve known for years. I’ll ask about what’s been going on in your life, how your much-needed girls’ or guys’ night went, or how far you got in that book you were excited to read.

I genuinely care about how you’ve been doing. Those awkward or difficult conversations that can feel intimidating? They come naturally here. I’m not afraid to talk about the hard stuff, and I’m also not afraid to gently challenge you when I see you holding yourself back.

When we work together, we’ll take all the “puzzle pieces” of your life, lay them out, and look at the big picture. We’ll identify what’s holding you back and create actionable plans to move forward. Piece by piece, I’ll help you put everything back together to create the life you want. I believe in designing a life you’re proud of, creating lasting change, and celebrating your victories along the way.

I love what I do because it’s both challenging and deeply rewarding. I feel so fortunate to work with incredible people and help them build confidence in themselves and their lives.

Who I Work With
I’m especially drawn to working with women and men who are navigating:

  • Feelings of sadness without understanding why

  • Constant worry about what’s next

  • Perfectionism that no longer serves them

  • Societal pressures related to their bodies, careers, or relationships

I approach therapy with the belief that the stories you tell yourself every day have a profound impact on your life. Our thoughts shape how we feel and behave, so we’ll start by exploring those patterns together.
