They say that a problem shared is a problem halved. Even the greatest challenges in life can be overcome with the support of a mental health therapist.

We each have a story, and that story matters. It is often our story that serves as the holding spot for some of our burdens and the very birthplace of our heart’s desires. I believe each client’s story is important and relevant and to be invited into another’s story of personal growth and healing is among the most profound and sacred of human experiences. As a Doctoral level Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I view the work I do as deeply personal and collaborative. In my work with clients, I place high value on the therapeutic relationship, which is essential for growth and healing.

Working through family relationship challenges with spouse, parents, young or adult children, siblings or other category of family? Those are the relationships that are viewed by society as loving, healthy and positive, yet many of those relationships are not. I can help you sort through the relationship and work together to figure out the best way forward.

Stress and anxiety are increasingly common challenges we face as humans, for individuals and families alike. These concerns may arise from a variety of sources, including relational difficulties, societal pressures, and behavior challenges in children and teens. Having a space to focus on strengths, improve communication, identify tools for coping, and reflect on values, can be integral for not only healing but thriving. Through a warm, collaborative, curious stance, I utilize evidence-based treatments to create improvements in functioning and quality of life.

I believe in working cooperatively with people to help them achieve balance, personal growth, and to reach their personal goals. Many people feel isolated and their anxiety or depression prevent them from being their best self. We all have the ability to learn, grow and reach our highest potential, and we cannot do it alone. Together we can identify strengths, work through challenges, and develop the skills to achieve a higher level of peace and contentment.

Over thirty years of experience partnering with clients of all ages, from a wide variety of backgrounds, has confirmed for me each person has within themselves the resources and ability to become the person they wish to be and to improve their satisfaction in life. As a therapist I partner with each client helping them to identify patterns of thought and behavior that are no longer effective and guide them in discovering new, more rewarding ways of relating and connecting with others. I work collaboratively with clients to solve problems, connect with strengths, and reach their personal and professional goals.

Therapy can feel broad and overwhelming. To simplify our approach, we'll seek acceptance and control of adversities that seem to dictate your life. Whatever stressors weigh on you, we'll troubleshoot what hasn't been working and process new tools to put in place. It is my responsibility to adapt to your preferences and ways of learning. I'll provide a space for you that can range from open discussion and exploration, to structured activities and weekly goals. Additionally, these steps are flexible and can be done in a matter of time that fits what you hope to achieve. All possible with individual, couples, and/or family therapy.

Welcome! My name is Jasmine and I'm glad you're here. I have been in the mental health field for over 10 years, working with both teens and adults with various needs. Some of the issues I focus on are anxiety, depression, life transitions and self-esteem issues. If you are looking to improve your overall mental health and gain new skills to navigate your life, you are in the right place.

How do you feel right now? What do you need? What do you want? Change in our lives can only come from a better understanding of who we really are. Validation of past experiences, wounds and traumas. Through exploration, comes a willingness to work to change. Not who you are, but how you are; in relationships, at work, with your family and with yourself. Reducing anxiety, feeling less depressed, better able to deal with overwhelming emotions. Contentment.

Congratulations on taking this crucial step on your wellness journey! I respect your desire for improvement in your life satisfaction, and it is an honor and a privilege to partner with you.

You’re here because some emotional issue is holding you back from your best life. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma and even reached out for help from people you respect; but they’ve been either too busy with their own issues, critical or worse failed to listen? That can make your situation even more frustrating and lead to feeling unimportant, invisible, and even unworthy of love and belonging. No one deserves to feel devalued. I know this is more than a platitude because everyone I have ever worked with has so much value; just often untapped or unrecognized.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to ask for help. Life can be overwhelming, scary, and devastating at times. I am here to help. Together, you and I will draw on your inner strengths to find the resolution and personal growth you are looking for. I am dedicated to helping you find your way through life's many challenges and gaining some peace of mind along the way. I offer a strong emphasis on person-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical-behavioral methods. I am trained in EMDR (effective treatment approach for individuals who have survived trauma).

I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for individuals seeking healing and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet the specific needs and goals of every client. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, I am here to listen without judgment and help you navigate through challenges.

I have over 20 years of experience working in high schools, colleges, employee assistance program settings providing career, educational and life coaching. I work with teens, college students and adults working toward career and educational goals, striving to improve communication and navigate systems more effectively. The following are just a few of the areas where I can provide coaching and support: navigating special education meetings with school districts and obtaining accommodations in higher education, preparing for and making college-related decisions, pursuing or adjusting to employment, parenting, & managing stress.

Hi, I’m Erin! While life can be absolutely beautiful, it can also be difficult to feel contentment and notice the joy when you are overwhelmed with anxiety, doubt, and negative beliefs about yourself. It can feel comfortable to stay stuck in a pattern that is not serving you, but I’m betting that you’re becoming more uncomfortable with staying the same than you have in the past. While working together, you will learn how to navigate difficult thoughts that promote hard feelings. You will obtain skills to self regulate and accept things outside of your control, while becoming familiar with healthy boundaries that promote balance.
