Who am I? My name is Jackie and I am a therapist with a special interest in stress management. I have a Master’s degree in psychology, am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and work for one off the largest hospital systems in the metro Atlanta area as a counselor in emergency medicine and in drug rehab. I treat children, adults, and teens with any number of psychiatric problems and patients who are trying to beat drug dependence. Many times, I am the point of contact when folks have reached their wit’s end and don’t know where to turn. My hope is that I can share my professional knowledge and personal experience in a plain-language, non-technical format that can be helpful to anyone. So here, in this place it will just be me talking to you – one person to another about ways I have found to manage stress.

A bit of history – I am a former financial analyst/workaholic who decided a bit before midlife to change careers and follow my heart into counseling psychology. I also spent the last three years homeschooling my son thru those horrible middle school years while working weekends. As he is transitioning back to public school, I finally have some time to try my hand at writing. I hope you find enjoyment, good ideas and maybe a bit of humor in my musings and feel free to leave comments!!
