For thirty years, I worked as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and Supervisor for a State VR Program in Michigan. Motivational Interviewing and cognitive techniques have dominated my counseling and coaching approaches throughout my profession. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed with mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, and who struggle with multiple life adjustments. I approach each individual I serve with dignity, respect, kindness, and the belief that I can be instrumental in assisting with life's journey and challenges.

I appreciate Jackie’s kindness, empathy and thoughtfulness. I know she cares about the people she sees as individual human beings, not just another person in a list. She has been a therapist a long time and her life experience is very helpful to me as a middle-aged mom with adult elder care situations.
