Summary

Life’s transitions—whether in relationships, family, or discovering a renewed sense of self—can feel both overwhelming and full of possibility. Individuals may be seeking clarity in a new season while couples may find themselves caught between love and conflict, unsure how to move forward. With thoughtful support, it is possible to rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and create deeper, more secure connections. Jackie’s work focuses on guiding individuals and couples through these pivotal moments with insight, compassion, and strategies that foster resilience and lasting change.

Jackie values the meaningful relationships she’s built with her clients. She views it as an honor each time someone chooses her to walk alongside them—through the difficult parts of life and in celebrating their growth and successes. Her approach is collaborative and compassionate, yet at times more directive with couples when it supports their goals. Jackie draws from proven frameworks, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based approaches, and narrative therapy. This allows her to tailor each session to your unique story, always with the aim of strengthening connection and creating lasting transformation.
Jackie also hosts Everything Is Clinical, a podcast for mental health pros where they explore challenges in the field and dive deeper into important clinical topics. Sponsored by The Right Counselor, this work extends her passion for advancing clinical excellence and supporting the growth of other professionals in the field.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and AAMFT Approved Supervisor, Jackie brings both expertise and empathy to her practice. She holds a master’s of family therapy degree from Mercer University School of Medicine and is a Gottman Level 3 trained couples therapist as well as a Gottman Seven Principles Educator. She specializes in working with couples—including step-couples and blended families navigating remarriage, co-parenting, and loyalty binds—as well as individuals facing life transitions such as launching adult children, grief and loss, redefining purpose, and caring for aging parents.
Jackie provides counseling for couples, individuals, and families across Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina through secure telehealth sessions. This gives clients the flexibility to receive high-quality care from the comfort of their own home while maintaining privacy and convenience. For new clients, Jackie offers a complimentary 20-minute online or phone consultation. While her schedule often books a few weeks in advance, she can typically schedule this introductory meeting within the week. If you are ready to take the next step toward healing, clarity, and lasting connection, Jackie looks forward to connecting with you.
