Hi, it’s so nice to meet you — I’m Jackie. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and part of Clear Mind Counseling’s San Diego therapy team, where I specialize in working with adults who are seeking meaningful, lasting change through talk therapy.
As a therapist, I’m deeply interested in the transformative power of actions, habits, mindset, and brain chemistry. Central to my approach is the belief that a non-judgmental, supportive space fosters deep self-awareness — an essential first step toward personal growth and change.
My mission is to empower individuals with practical tools and insight so they can navigate life with greater confidence and self-trust. Within the therapeutic relationship, I create space for honesty, boundary setting, assertiveness, and emotional exploration, supporting clients as they build clarity and resilience.
In sessions, I blend teaching, exploration, and humor to support a balanced process of self-acceptance and growth. I often use humor and imagery to help shift perspective and encourage new insights, and I’m transparent about my methods so you always understand the “why” behind our work. Knowing that starting therapy can feel daunting, I strive to make the process warm, authentic, and even enjoyable as you move toward greater self-understanding and fulfillment.
