Life can be a wild ride, full of unexpected twists and turns
Sometimes it feels like we're cruising down the highway, blasting our favorite tunes, when suddenly we get t-boned at an intersection we never saw coming. It can leave us feeling disoriented, like we've lost our GPS signal and have no idea which way to turn. And let's face it, dealing with these kinds of challenges as a couple can be even more difficult - it's like we're stuck in the backseat of a car that's careening off the road, and we're not sure if we should grab the wheel or just hold on tight. But don't worry, even when things feel like they're falling apart, there's always a way to find our way back home. As a therapist, I'm here to help you navigate those bumpy roads and find your way back to a smoother ride.
Jackie is a couples therapist in Murrieta, CA who specializes in helping couples navigate the ups and downs of their relationships. Whether you are excited and ready to take your relationship to a deeper level or if you're in a place where you're not sure if your relationship will survive, Jackie is the therapist for you!
First of all, let's address the elephant in the room. Couples therapy can often feel intimidating and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be that way. Jackie will have you laughing, crying, and most importantly, healing, in no time. She understands that relationships are complicated and messy, but she also knows that they can be beautiful and fulfilling. And that's why she's here, to help you get to the beautiful and fulfilling part.
No matter what challenge you're facing, Jackie is here to help.
Jackie specializes in couples therapy, and is passionate about working with couples in areas like premarital counseling, discernment counseling, processing grief (including infertility and loss), and infidelity in marriages.
For those of you who are considering or are planning to get married, Jackie offers premarital counseling. This is an important step for couples who want to make sure they're on the same page before saying "I do." She'll help you address any concerns or issues that may arise in your relationship, and she'll make sure you're building a strong foundation for your future together. No more "what ifs" or "should haves," Jackie will help you start your marriage off on the right foot.
Jackie has extensive experience working with mixed-faith couples and individuals who are navigating faith transitions. She understands the unique challenges that can arise when individuals have different beliefs, values, and traditions, and how these differences can impact their relationship. Jackie helps couples and individuals explore their values and beliefs in a non-judgmental and compassionate way, helping them to better understand and respect each other's perspectives. She provides a safe and supportive space for couples to discuss their concerns, and helps them to find ways to communicate effectively and build a strong foundation for their relationship. Whether you are questioning your own faith or dealing with differences in belief with your partner, Jackie is here to help you navigate this complex terrain with care and sensitivity.
If you're in a place where you're not sure if you want to stay in your relationship, Jackie also offers discernment counseling.
Discernment therapy is for couples who are trying to figure out if they want to stay together or if they're ready to call it quits. She will help you both understand your options as well as the pro's and con's of each so that you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.
Jackie also specializes in helping couples process grief, whether that be from infertility, death, or another type of loss. The emotions that come from experiencing a loss can have a devastating impact on relationships and she understands the complex dynamics that can arise as a result of grief. She will work with you to help you find a path forward together that feels compassionate and supports you on the path to healing and recovery.
Finally, Jackie specializes in infidelity in marriages and relationships. Infidelity can be one of the most difficult challenges a couple can face - and honestly, recovery from infidelity isn't talked about much in our culture. She'll work with you to understand the root causes of the infidelity and help you rebuild the trust and intimacy you need to move forward as a stronger, more connected couple.
Just a little bit more about Jackie!
Jaquelynn ‘Jackie’ Flietstra has a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University and is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California (Reg. No 125801). She is working under the supervision of Rebecca Williams, LMFT (Ca Lic. No 81817). One of the early catalysts and initial sparks for Jackie's journey towards being a Mental Health professional was the healing that she personally found in therapy years ago. After her experience in your seat, she was inspired to help others the way that her therapist helped her. Fast forward to today, after years of study, training and experience, having the opportunity to sit down and work solely with couples at IECC ignites that excitement and spark once again for her. Out of the office, Jackie loves spending time with her family and friends, being active and working out, and watching movies at home (Rom-Coms are some of her favorites). Her dream one day is to travel the world with the people she loves. And most importantly, she loves when she gets to finish a day with dessert!
