Hello and welcome! My name is Jackie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Vice President of Arena Counseling and Wellness. At Arena, we prioritize providing high-quality services tailored to your unique needs. I believe that our most disrupting behaviors and emotions are actually survival mechanisms that we have developed to deal with emotional pain. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can acknowledge and tolerate the intolerable, fostering insight and self-compassion to regain control of their lives and narratives.
I specialize in addressing trauma and core beliefs that contribute to symptoms like disordered eating, self harm, and dissociation. I utilize an eclectic approach of trauma based therapies to help clients recognize and change their patterns and find the self-compassion and the courage needed to heal old wounds, gain insight, and manage their symptoms.
Embarking on a change journey can be daunting. You're deserving of this journey and I will stand by you, holding hope even in the darkest moments. I bring with me the compassion, wisdom and expertise gifted to me from past clients and clinical trainings. Together, we'll tap into your own inner wisdom, empowering you to embrace your authentic self.
