Hi, I’m Jacey!

I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, public speaker, and wellness enthusiast based in California.

I've always been fascinated by people, how we think, why we do what we do, and how we're all just trying to figure out this whole ‘being human’ thing. I believe we're a lot more capable of growth, change, and possibility than we sometimes give ourselves credit for, and getting to be part of that process? I don't take it lightly.

Whether it's through therapy, speaking engagements, workshops, panels, or conversations about wellness and personal growth, my goal is pretty much the same:

challenge the way we think, help people better understand themselves, and explore what's possible when we learn to show up for ourselves and each other.

I'll meet you where you are, but I'll also challenge you to think a little differently, ask better questions, and see things from a new perspective.

Because life isn't just about figuring ourselves out. It's about giving ourselves the chance to experience everything we're capable of.

Who I Work With

Most of the people I work with would describe themselves as overthinkers, high achievers running on empty, or recovering people-pleasers. I also work with entertainers, and content creators navigating the unique pressures of living and working with high visibility. No matter their lifestyle or background, they all have one thing in common: they're frustrated with where they are, want more, and ready for something to change.

If you've been carrying a lot for a long time and you're finally at the point where something has to give, you're probably exactly who I work with.

I especially love working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity, relationships, or the uncertain in-between phases of life. My hope is that this feels like one less space where you have to explain yourself and one more space where you can simply be. Whether you're navigating life behind the scenes or in the public eye, therapy can be a place where you don't have to perform, manage expectations, or carry everything alone.

How I Work

I show up as my authentic self in the therapy room. With that, I also believe that the relationship between therapist and client matters, and that not every therapist is the right fit for every person.

My style is warm, collaborative, and occasionally humorous, while also being direct when needed. If you're looking for a therapist who simply listens and nods, I'm probably not the best fit for you.

I genuinely love what I do, and part of that means being an active participant in the room. I'll ask questions, offer observations, challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and help you connect awareness to meaningful action.

Insight is powerful, but real change happens when we do something with it.

A Bit About Me

Outside of sessions, you'll usually find me with a coffee in hand, chasing some form of movement, spending time with loved ones, or planning my next adventure.

That same passion for growth, connection, and meaningful change that I bring to the therapy room carries into my life outside of it.

Through public speaking and community involvement with organizations like The Trevor Project and TEDx, I enjoy creating opportunities for meaningful conversations, sharing stories, and helping people feel more connected to themselves and those around them.
