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. My personal approach is rooted in understanding “problem” behaviors as symptoms of emotional content that may be too painful to handle alone. 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 addiction. I utilize cognitive, somatic, and trauma-focused techniques to help clients recognize and change their patterns by fostering self-compassion and the courage needed to heal old wounds, gain insight, and manage their symptoms.
Embarking on a change journey can be daunting. I'm here to guide you with compassion and the 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. You're deserving of this journey—I'll stand by you, holding hope even in the darkest moments.
