While in the corporate sector for 16 years I started my own therapy and recovery. With the support of people I met along the way, I returned to graduate school and started this chapter of my life. For the past 21 years, I have worked in a community based mental health and substance abuse treatment setting, I have been a contractor for the Department of Defense providing the same services as previously mentioned, I have worked in a private group practice providing mental health and outpatient substance use assessment and treatment services, and most recently I have returned home after being in Canada for over 6 years providing clinical services for an intensive outpatient treatment program. In November of 2021, I entered into private practice providing behavioral health and addiction treatment services for adult individuals and couples.

Problems In your relationship, emotionally, behaviorally, or even with substance abuse. Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals manage their anxiety, depression, or burnout by addressing the needs of your body, mind, and spirit using the bible. I integrate current counseling theories with sound biblical principles to help develop a stronger relationship with God, and a stronger you. Whether you are dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I am here to help. Seeking therapy can seem scary and maybe even against some of the teachings you've learned in church, but you are making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together I will meet with you, and your spouse if you want, with compassion and evidence-based techniques while using biblical principles so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. The research says that 1 in 4 people in the United States, at any given time, have mental health issues. This does not exclude the church. The average church in Virginia has 250 members attending on any given Sunday. That means that at least fifty people in your church service last Sunday are struggling with some type of mental illness or emotional problem. I work with churches to help them with ministering to the hurting, please let me help you.

I started providing mental health services in the community in 2016 as a behavior technician. Once graduated I became a psychotherapy resident and later completed full psychotherapist licensure requirements with a specialty in marriage and family therapy. My therapeutic style is psychodynamic/psychoeducational, which means I help individuals understand the psychological underlying motivations for their behaviors impacting their mood shifts and precipitating symptoms and/or relational distress and impacts on our day to day activities. Relational distress is not confined to couples. Relational distress (mostly precipitated by depression and anxiety and as the cause of depression/anxiety in a never ending loop) includes connections in all existing contexts. Day to day actives impacted by mood shifts and symptoms of depression and anxiety can range from our daily personal hygiene routines to balancing (or rather neglecting to) a check book, to job performance, to dysregulation showing up in additive day to day behaviors (alcohol and drugs are not the only addition behaviors presenting as dysregulation). In my practice, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where the client and therapist work together. My work is grounded in mutual respect, empathy, unconditional regard, and trust. My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental place where the individual can explore thoughts, feelings and stances impacting their interpersonal, intrapersonal, and day to day experiences with honesty and openness. To me, growth and change are deeply personal experiences and unique to each individual. A transformative process that unfolds carefully and mindfully over time. My role is to provide guidance and tools towards the path of healing and self discovery of insights and resilience as the individual, couple, or the family reach their desired goals.

Hi! I'm Jasmine and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been practicing therapy for 6 years. I obtained a Bachelors in Psychology in 2010 at Eastern Michigan University and completed my Master of Social Work at Johnson C. Smith University, graduating in 2017. Do you have a hard time with change and life transitions? Do you feel overstimulated and unable to ground yourself? Do you feel isolated or "different" from everybody else? Are you exploring your identity, sexuality, or self-image? Are you seeking a therapist who can provide an atmosphere where you feel comfortable enough to vent, find relief, and explore your story– however unconventional it may be? Do you crave a space where you can find yourself or be encouraged to be the expert on your life while being held accountable for your goals? If you want to live a life that aligns with your values or true identity while communicating and reinforcing your boundaries, I can help you get there. Together, using strength-based and person-centered therapy with a psychodynamic touch (and a healthy dose of humor), we can partner and begin your journey to building the confidence to be who you are and enhancing your strengths. Finally, feel self-assured in your value and speak up for what you want in your life, relationships, and career. If you’re ready to build a happy, thriving life while being true to yourself, let’s chat today. I come from a military family that has been located throughout the United States, allowing me the opportunity to meet people from varying cultures and backgrounds. This has contributed to my ability to become more culturally competent and open-minded when working with different clients. When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m... Either out and about on the town attending open mics, enjoying brunch, having fun at concerts or at home watching the Food Network, cartoons, dramas, and comedies.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Virginia rather than a city like Richmond?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Virginia from Norfolk to Roanoke! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Virginia.

Will my therapist take Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid?

Yes! If you use Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
