You want change but don't know where to start. You might be experiencing debilitating emotional, psychological, and/or physical pain. Or depression that leaves you feeling lost and alone. Maybe you have intense anxiety and fear that prevents you from connecting with those you love and that keeps you from feeling accomplished. Perhaps a slow eroding of your self-esteem has taken root and negatively impacting your abilities to see the wonder and awe in the world. If you are experiencing any of these feelings, emotions, or life challenges, please know that you are not alone. In collaboration we will heal the root of pain and create a path to your heart center where you are free of burdens and able to thrive. I am a skilled clinician who is authentic, intuitive, and focused. My counseling approach is individualized where I draw from current research in brain science, physiology of trauma, counseling, positive psychology, existential philosophy, and mind sight. I provide services in a culturally sensitive and trauma informed manner where you feel safe and capable to ignite your curiosity, where you will gain insight into your heart wisdom and intelligence, and where meaningful releases of painful body sensations and memories happens without being re-traumatized.

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!
