Counseling Approach: 

"I don't want to go to school." "I don't want to go home from school." "Will this nightmare EVER end?" These fears, and others like them, are common experiences among young people. Being young can be really, really stressful. School, family, sports, grades, friends, significant others, the pressure to be "cool" and "acceptable;" the list goes on and on and

on! Maybe you were wounded by a person or people and have been too scared to share, but now

you have finally found the courage to tell someone. Or maybe you want to share but just don't know how - or are afraid to. You just feel really, really stuck. When we feel stuck, it can be hard to find words to describe how we feel - if those words exist at all. Creative expression can be an incredibly powerful way to navigate that trickiness, and we can use games, art, and other creative mediums to process those feelings. I provide an environment where that is not just welcomed, but encouraged! Sometimes life just sucks, and getting unstuck can seem like a hopeless dream.Fortunately, therapy can provide that hope and help you on your way to health. It's just your job to take that first step, and I would be honored to take the second, third, and more steps along with

you. If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out so we can connect!

Ministry Experience: 

Jackson has worked with children in church ministries for over ten years, and with teenagers for five years. In between his sophomore and junior years of college, he was fortunate enough to get to help start his church’s youth group. He had been in school training to be a

student pastor, but upon realizing that counseling was his favorite part of ministry, and would try

pursuing a career as a counselor instead.
