Through the use of evidence-based practices such as Multisystemic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, Jacqueline has effectively been able to build meaningful relationships in which she advocates, empowers, and promotes healing. Her approach is integrative and multicultural.

Jacqueline obtained her BA and MA from CUNY City College. She has devoted the past 7 years in service of youth, families, and individuals with co-occurring disorders such as substance use, depression, and anxiety.
