Career Background

After community, college and earning two Bachelor’s Degrees in Psychology and Sociology, and a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Psychology, Jackson discovered her methods from vast professional experience. She chose to specialize in helping couples strengthen and repair their relationships by improving intimacy with couples by increasing effective two-way communication. She is dedicated to helping couples increase sexual, physical, emotional, and spiritual intimacy. Her therapeutic approach is defined as holistic, eclectic, and tailored to her client's needs to ensure they are cared for biologically, emotionally, and spiritually.[9]

Early Life

Born and raised in the Compton area of California, Jackson came from poverty, drugs, and gang violence. Her parents attempted to protect her but were unable to hide dysfunction in their own household. At age 10, she witnessed domestic violence amongst her parents. It was impactful to her upbringing. The familial and financial shift of seeing her parents divorce, then living in a single-parent home with her mother and older sister caused Jackson to deal with her own childhood trauma. Jackson then decided to focus on education.[10]
