More about me

Hello there, I'm Jakiis, a proud alumna of the University of Phoenix, holding a bachelor’s degree in human services with a specialization in Criminal Justice. Currently, I'm deeply immersed in advancing my career by pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) as a Clinical Intern. Throughout my professional journey, I've been steadfast in my commitment to addressing critical issues surrounding substance use and addiction.

My passion lies in the transformative process of helping individuals heal and discover hope even amid challenges. Guiding them through hurdles and fostering healthier coping skills is where I find my purpose. Creating a safe and supportive space where you feel truly understood and less isolated is paramount to me.  

My aim is for you to leave each of our sessions feeling lighter, more at ease, and better equipped to navigate life's complexities. I firmly believe that prioritizing your mental well-being is key to achieving a more balanced and fulfilling life. Are you ready to take this step towards healing and growth?
