Accepting New Clients. My name is Jasmine, and I support clients carrying the weight of childhood wounds, generational trauma, family conflict, and complicated relationships. Maybe you’ve tried to keep the peace, but arguments still happen, boundaries don’t stick, and old triggers hit hard. You might feel torn between cultural or family expectations and what you truly want -and guilty for wanting something different. If you feel stuck, unheard, or exhausted by the same patterns, you’re not alone. Therapy can be a safe space to untangle it with compassion, understand where it comes from, and start healing how it impacts you today.

You're not just stressed — you're worn down from functioning in survival mode. You may look fine on the outside, but inside you feel on edge, shut down, or emotionally flat.
You've likely tried therapy or self-help already and are frustrated that understanding hasn't changed how your body reacts.
What makes this different: I'm both a therapist and a Registered Practical Nurse. I understand how chronic stress shows up physically — in your sleep, digestion, immune system, and pain levels. We work with your whole system, not just your thoughts.

There are moments when we may feel alone in what we’re carrying. When our circumstances consistently fail to meet our needs, feelings of frustration can naturally arise. In session with me, I take on a holistic approach to your life. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to openly discuss what you are going through and the goals/dreams you wish to move closer to. I often consider myself like a coach on a team. I will always be in your corner, cheering you on, but that doesn't mean that I am not going to help push you towards the goals that you set for yourself. When you leave the session, I want you to feel understood.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
