Grow, Heal, and Thrive at Your Own Pace
A supportive counseling space where your story, strengths, and identity are honored.
Hi, I'm Jasmine
A Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting teenagers, parents, adults, and families. My approach is deeply client-centered, focused on building a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space where you can show up fully and authentically.
My goal is to guide and support you in developing self-love, confidence, and a sense of peace in both mind and body. I offer a welcoming, relational, and realistic approach while integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Strengths-Based Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS).
I have extensive experience working with high-risk children, teens, and families experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges, including those related to disrupted attachment.
Additionally, having grown up in another country and worked with minority and marginalized communities, I bring cultural awareness, humility, and a holistic lens to the therapeutic process.
How I Work With You
Taking the first step toward therapy is not easy — and I honor that. My priority is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can go at your own pace as we process what you’re experiencing and build adaptive coping skills.
I help clients navigate a wide range of concerns, including parenting support, parent-child relationship issues, anxiety, depression, family conflict, peer conflict, behavioral challenges at home or school, emotional dysregulation, communication difficulties, life transitions, stress, trauma, and blended family issues.
To me, success looks like you taking meaningful steps toward healing, gaining the tools to manage challenges, and moving toward the healthy, fulfilling life you want. Together, we will explore your triggers, increase self-awareness, and strengthen the skills needed to manage your thoughts and emotions.
“I offer both in-person and telehealth (virtual) sessions from Monday through Thursday. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.”
Philosophy & Approach
My counseling style is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in creating a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment. My priority is to support you as you develop your own sense of self-love, confidence, resilience, and peace of mind and body.
I believe therapy works best when it honors the whole person — mind, body, emotions, relationships, culture, and lived experiences. I move at your pace and tailor each session to your needs.

I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

My Experience
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, parents, and families experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I have extensive experience supporting high-risk youth, families navigating disrupted attachment, and individuals managing complex stressors at home, school, work, and in relationships.
Whether you’re navigating something new or something you’ve carried for years, our work together will focus on understanding your experiences, building insight, and developing the coping skills you need to thrive.
