Counseling Staff

 Chief Administrative Officer Jackie completed her Master of Arts in Community Psychology and Social Change from Penn State Harrisburg in 2008. Prior to that she graduated summa cum laude and with honors from Drury University where she pursued a degree in psychology, sociology, and global studies. Jackie has always been interested in helping others and has a particular passion for social justice issues including advocating for access to affordable healthcare. Whereas the therapy staff at Ozarks Counseling Center focuses on individual treatment, she is interested in impacting change at the organizational and community level which makes her employment with the agency since 2013 a perfect fit. Jackie directly manages all administrative support staff and is responsible for all day-to-day operations of the clinic. She works closely with all staff to ensure Ozarks Counseling Center can continue to stay true to the mission and serve as many people as possible in our area with quality mental healthcare. Jackie is also a certified yoga teacher (RYT200) and has offered free introductory workshops for interested clients.
