Jackie, the Human
My path to this work was shaped by years of overachievement and people-pleasing as a survival strategy, burnout, toxic systems, and thinking I could hustle my way into security and safety. I know the ache of trying to hold everything together and the relief of finally setting down things that were never mine to hold. I know the confusion and later relief of late-diagnosis AuDHD. That's why I founded Mockingbird Therapy - to create a space for people to reclaim their lives and feel genuinely supported and safe in the ways I wish I had earlier in life.

Outside of my work, I also love dancing with my kids to K-Pop Demon Hunters, the big Texas sky and the feeling of Minnesota spring, my husband's morbid sense of humor, rescuing dogs, coffee mugs with personality, classic rock on vinyl, and humanity in all its messiness.
