Nice to meet you, I am Jackson. Can you recall the moments? The moments when you were present and connected to not only yourself but the world around you. Do you remember handling the challenges that arose without becoming exceedingly overwhelmed? Has that capacity ever been in your grasp? Let us not sacrifice our life and the precious precious moments in it to our excessive thoughts, uncontrollable emotions, or a body that doesn't function and serve us. My process centers upon viewing the individual holistically; mind, body, and spirit and is enacted by not only using traditional talk therapy, which focuses on our life story and patterns of behavior, but by looking at the system in its entirety. Together I will integrate clinical training and this holistic perspective so we can improve your functioning and navigate a solution to your problems. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of meaning, or relationship issues, you don't have to walk this journey alone. I have the experience to help you reconnect to yourself so you can enjoy those precious moments and have a more fulfilling life. Let's get those moments back!
The first session is best used for you to take a deep breath and allow yourself to unburden the weight of the troubles you have been carrying. No expectations, just allowing yourself to tell your story and for us to connect in the process. As that organically unfolds I will begin to conceptualize what led you here and together we will collaborate what your path to healing will look like.
Being exposed to a variety of people and their behaviors during my 25 years of bartending before entering the clinical world has enabled me a unique perspective. Doing my own work to regulate and improve connection while immersed in a difficult environment during those years was challenging, but has been a priceless piece in my practice. I immensely value my clinical knowledge, but witnessing my journey and the multitude of people and their stories along the way are at the heart of my ability to help people change.
People trying to find meaning or purpose, transitions or adjustment issues, substance use, relationship issues.
I utilize and engage in a variety of evidence-based practices through my work with clients, but work primarily through a psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approach. Believe it is important to understand where behaviors have arisen from in order to give us the power to change them. I also engage my clients through a trauma-informed lens and a mind/body wellness perspective.
