Guiding Others Through Grief, Growth, and Renewal

I’m Jaclyn Hoffman, MS, LPC, the founder of Shore Awakenings. For more than 20 years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people find hope and healing through life’s hardest seasons. My focus is on grief counseling, trauma recovery, and emotional healing, but at the heart of my work is creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported and understood.

I believe that therapy should be both professional and personal—grounded in evidence-based practices while also meeting you exactly where you are in your journey. My training includes techniques like Brainspotting, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), and HeartMath, which allow me to tailor each session to your needs. These tools are designed to help release emotional pain, ease stress, and restore balance so you can move forward with greater clarity and strength.

What sets Shore Awakenings apart is the care and attention I bring to each client relationship. I know that reaching out for help is not always easy, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside those navigating grief, trauma, and transition. Whether you’re looking for a safe place to talk, strategies to manage overwhelming emotions, or long-term support as you rebuild, my goal is to help you find peace and resilience in the midst of change.
