LMFT, 16 years of experience
Hi. I'm Jasmine, I'm a LMFT. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University in 2008. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
The first session is the intake session, where i will be collecting information about the presenting problem, and your history, and will be reviewing your goals for therapy.
Some of my strengths as a provider are to be fully present with my client, to provide the best care, in a safe and none judgmental environment.
I work with adults and couples. I provide therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, loss, intimacy and relationship issues, panic attacks and disorders, parenting issues, stress management, confidence issues.
I use CBT in my practice because its evidence based and it helps with changing negative thoughts and unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.
In couples counseling, I use many different methods to help the couple address conflict, enhance communication, and encourage intimacy between the couple.
I also use the Person Centered approach as I focus on the individual's needs, preferences and goals, while understanding each person's unique circumstances.
I like focusing on the client's strengths, resilience and the positive aspects of their life where they can build on a reaching greater levels and making the changes that they desire.
