My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you feel better—not just in our sessions, but in your daily life. I use evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and gain clarity around your thoughts and emotions. I’ve spent over a decade supporting individuals and families through grief and loss in hospice care, worked in schools with children and teens, and now offer individual therapy in private practice. No matter where you are in your journey, my goal is to give you the tools and insight you need so that therapy becomes something you don’t need long-term. This is your space to feel heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.

I approach therapy with optimism and enthusiasm.

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!

Do you feel in control of your mind or do certain thoughts seem to be taking control of you? Our mind is a powerful tool. My desire for you is to regain control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions by understanding the meaning behind those feelings and behaviors that are causing stress and negative consequences. I've found that by working together to identify hidden triggers we can make significant changes that help us get closer to our desired goals in the journey to self-awareness.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take Florida Blue?

Yes! If you use Florida Blue you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Florida Blue you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
