As an integrative, multidisciplinary therapist, I offer a blend of evidence-supported and holistic approaches to help you achieve emotional and spiritual wellness.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with roots in the visual arts and a clinical approach grounded in mindfulness and compassion. At jkbecktherapystudio, I see women both online and in person, and I also lead meditation practices and creative arts therapy groups for the wider community. My private practice supports women navigating the complexity of physical and emotional health—chronic conditions, acute diagnoses, reproductive journeys, and profound loss. I also work with women whose lives are shaped by adoption and neurodiversity, who carry the weight of caregiving and invisible labor, who feel undervalued at home or work, or simply depleted in body, heart, and spirit. With compassion and creativity, I help women name long-overlooked needs, repair relational wounds, and rediscover resilience, connection, and purpose—even amid life’s inevitable sadness and strain.

You may be seeking therapy to ease the pain of depression, anxiety, trauma, or loss or because you are struggling with relationships and other interpersonal issues. Maybe something just does not “feel right,” preventing you from moving forward. Perhaps you are challenged by existential questions and wish to explore your identity and sense of purpose or find greater meaning in your life. Whatever brings you here, I already know that you possess the courage to seek help, the hope that your life can be better, and the capacity to both heal and improve your quality of life. What is causing you pain or holding you back may be a known challenge or problem or an unexamined part of yourself or your story that, left unspoken, causes you to feel stuck. My integrated work combines relational, experiential (AEDP), and insight-oriented approaches. I find it especially rewarding to help clients overcome the loneliness of not having full access to their emotions, which, when identified, experienced, and explored together, can be transformative. I believe that a trusting relationship with a therapist who is truly present is a powerful catalyst for healing, developing more self-compassion, and enhancing relationships outside of therapy. I am a deep, empathic listener, and clients tell me that they feel “heard” and “understood” and that they appreciate my warmth and sense of humor. It is rewarding when my clients become as curious about themselves as I am about them, and I experience joy when I can help them realize strengths they may not have known they possess. It is a privilege to accompany my clients on the journey toward knowing themselves better, being able to reflect on their history with greater understanding, and living more authentic and fulfilled lives without the burden of self-limiting narratives. I look forward to exploring with you new ways of being and feeling and uncovering your innate capacity to heal and grow.

I work to provide a safe environment for clients to explore feelings. I provide feedback and direction as appropriate. My approach is candid and direct. I Often use humor to bring things into perspective. I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I strive to create a safe place for you to explore and successfully address the challenges you bring to therapy. I specialize in treating trauma (chronic or recent). I am a certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTPII). Trauma is not necessarily a specific event; it can be the environment you breathe(d). I also work with depression, anxiety, hopelessness, grief, life transitions among other issues. I have extensive experience in the field of trauma and energy psychology, I have found energy psychology techniques to be very effective in helping clients move through troubling issues, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and emotional triggers. Many clients don't understand why they react the way they do. This is often when someone has been triggered: feelings of the past have been triggered by a current situation outside the clients' awareness. I've worked with a wide variety of clients and have substantial experience providing support to people from many backgrounds with a wide variety of concerns. I can help you be the person you want to be by helping you to see what's in your way. I find energy work invaluable to processing issues, but relationship building is where it starts. I use cognitive techniques to help clients learn how their thinking affects their feelings and decisions. I look to family of origin relationships (Object Relations) to help clients understand what is being repeated in their current relationships and how to move beyond that. I use trauma-specific interventions (Psych-K, Neuro-Emotional Technique, TNT, Theta healing, and Heartspeak) to help clients move quickly through their distress. These techniques are also used to help clients change their behavior and beliefs about themselves. I use all of the above to help people find themselves, their value and worth as well as their life's purpose.

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. Therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and therapist alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results. I specialize in treating Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Depression Grief and Loss Issues and Addictions Dual-Diagnosis. I make it a priority to schedule new clients within about a week's time once a request for services has been made. I also provide treatment for the following concerns: Behavioral problems, Adjustment Issues, Anger management Difficulties, Self-Esteem Issues, Spirituality, Divorce Recovery and support for Individuals struggling with relationship issues. I invite you to email or call me today to schedule an initial appointment. I do offer evening appointments so you do not have to worry about missing work or school. I also accept many insurances and offer a reasonable flat rate per session for those who are without health insurance coverage.

My treatment approach focuses on helping individuals and couples identify the thoughts and feelings that impede their relationships and potential for peace. I incorporate family history to enhance understanding of how people arrive at their stuck places and why they make sense and yet get in the way of the relationships they want and of their potential for self actualization. My work with couples focuses on helping couples to recognize and honor the family triggers we all bring to relationships and work with each other to create a relationship that heals rather than adds to the hurt places we all have. My individual therapy allows people to identify their stuck places and the origins in their family history and move toward forgiveness and acceptance. The model allows individuals and families to see how their symptoms make perfect sense yet they are not working in the sense that they impede the peace we all want in our lives.
