Hello! I’m Jaci (she/her), a Marriage and Family Therapist trainee earning my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. I’m technically bicoastal, but Los Angeles is, without question, my home. My first home here was Inglewood, where I found community, support, and a sense of belonging that profoundly changed me. I’m deeply grateful to the people and neighborhoods that welcomed me in, and I’m honored to now serve a community I consider my own. I believe in the power of leaning on one another for strength, and I strive to help every client feel genuinely seen, supported, and valued.

I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space rooted in compassion and ethical care. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most meaningful foundations for growth, healing, and self-understanding, and I approach this work with deep respect for the trust it requires. I also value bringing genuine humanity into the clinical setting through a holistic and integrative approach. Many people move through life feeling unseen or unheard, carrying stories they have never felt safe enough to share. I strive to create a space where clients can show up fully without fear, shame, or judgment and feel recognized not only for their struggles, but also for their strength and resilience. I meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and respect, honoring the complexity of their lived experience through a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens.

I also believe that life is inherently challenging, and no one is meant to navigate it alone. Seeking support is a meaningful act of strength, not weakness. I aim to work collaboratively with clients to set goals and develop tools that foster resilience, empowerment, and self-compassion, helping them meet life’s complexities with greater confidence!
