Clinical Expertise: Dr. Jackson specializes in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, including Depression, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Agoraphobia in adults. Dr. Jackson uses evidence-based therapies, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy/Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and integrates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). 

Diversity & Inclusion: Dr. Jackson is committed to creating a compassionate, inclusive and safe space that invites discussion and exploration of socio-cultural identities (e.g. race, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, religious faith, etc.).

She strives to gain understanding of each person’s unique identities and related life experiences in order to provide support as needed and integrate these important aspects of identity into treatment when helpful. 

Research: Dr. Jackson’s research examines the underlying neural mechanisms associated with intolerance of uncertainty and their role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders.
