Hi! My name is Jill Jackson. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As a therapist, I try to hold a person’s experience and how that experience has been impacted by their context, be it related to culture, age, language, gender, sexuality, religion, and/or other factors. I also support people to think about how they make meaning out of the things they have experienced and then use that meaning to move through and create the life they are living or want to live. As partners in the therapeutic process, we will hopefully dive into understanding your story and making meaning of that story over time.

Every individual is unique and has the power of choice. Finding the balance between the duality of life is worth the time and effort to enjoy an inner peace.

Would you admit that you are your own worst critic? When you beat yourself up inside, it's difficult to find joy in your work and relationships. Finally softening towards yourself will free up energy for you to fulfill your goals. I use mindfulness and IFS (Internal Family Systems) strategies to help clients do deep and meaningful work in sessions.
