Hi there, I'm Jasmine, LCSW, and I'm here to help you navigate those overwhelming feelings that can sometimes feel like a pressure cooker. Whether it's the fear of disappointing others, feeling misunderstood, or battling with anxiety and depression, I understand how these emotions can pile up and become unbearable. You might even find yourself resorting to self-harm as a way to cope. It's hard to reach out and put these feelings into words, but you don't have to do it alone—this is my specialty, and I already understand what you're going through. With my guidance, you'll learn emotion management skills that can help you handle these big emotions and break the cycle. Imagine not having to use all your energy pretending to be okay because you actually are okay. Together, we can work on managing stress, connecting with others, and finding the energy to truly enjoy life. You won't have to be on the defensive anymore. I believe in open communication and honest boundaries, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like self-harm. Rest assured, this is an area I work with regularly, and I'm committed to being with you every step of the way. There's no jumping straight to inpatient care here—I'll teach you what you need to know to stop this and move forward with your life. If you're ready to take the first step towards feeling better and living a more fulfilling life, I'm here to support you. Let's work together to find the peace and understanding you deserve.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session will be an intake in which we discuss what has prompted you starting therapy and the things you would like to address in therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist I am very solution driven. If you come to therapy with a problem, it is my desire to help you address that problem with realistic coping tools and startegies to improve your overall mental health.
