Jaclyn is a social work registered with the Ontario College of Social Workers. She focuses on treating people with respect and meeting them where they are at using a flexible, multi-faceted approach. She works with people of all ages via virtual and in-person individual sessions.
Jaclyn started her career as a child and youth worker in residential treatment programs and specialized classroom settings. She then worked in crisis settings, including crisis counselling, crisis response, and with a mental health team with police supporting individuals in crisis.

Throughout her work, Jaclyn developed an understanding of OCD and sought out evidence based training in order to understand how to best support people. OCD can be very distressing and consists of obsessions and compulsions. ERP is a form of behavioural therapy. It is a structured and collaborative approach and uses exposures to confront the things that cause anxiety or worry and/or provokes obsessions.
Jaclyn has also taken training focused on body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) and Tourette syndrome.
