Life doesn’t always go as planned …and that’s okay. Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing trauma, adjusting to pregnancy or motherhood, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to walk alongside you with honesty, warmth, and genuine care.
My approach is grounded and direct. I believe in meeting you where you are, not where anyone thinks you should be. I work with adults, children, and teens who are ready for therapy and start healing, even when it feels hard. If spirituality is an important part of your journey, I welcome that into our sessions as well.

You’ve always seemed “so capable” to everyone else — but inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted from holding it all together. Maybe you’re Autistic or have ADHD, and you’re carrying old wounds from family or past relationships that left you feeling like your needs didn’t matter. You might be queer, kinky, poly, or just wonderfully different, but you want to stop masking, heal that chronic invalidation, and learn how to show up more honestly with the people you care about.

I help individuals who are ready to reconnect with themselves and move toward healing, guided by the belief that growth and change happen within safe, attuned relationships. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, interpersonal challenges, and complex or developmental trauma. I believe each client holds a story that deserves to be treated with tenderness, honor and respect.
In our work together, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can explore the patterns, emotions, and coping strategies that have helped you survive, while gently creating room for new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I am in-network with Anthem/BCBS and Sentara health plans, but I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients.
I’m here for folks who feel too much, too messy, or like the world wasn’t built for them. I work with queer and neurodivergent people—especially those carrying complex trauma, stuck in people-pleasing, questioning their self-trust, or overwhelmed by the weight of it all. You don’t have to explain your identity or mask your feelings here. My work is about creating safe, affirming spaces for messy, honest healing. I’m an explicitly anti-oppressive, systems-aware therapist who believes our work together is a space for both care and real change.

Welcome - I'm Michelle.
I’m a licensed therapist who supports adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, or long-standing relational patterns that no longer feel manageable.
Many of the individuals I work with are highly capable, thoughtful, and resilient — yet find themselves feeling stuck, emotionally reactive, disconnected from their bodies, or unsure why certain relationships or situations feel so activating.

Through a holistic and integrative approach I support individuals and families to navigate the unique challenges that life has unfolded for them. Whether our work takes place in my office or out in nature, I help my clients identify, cultivate and nourish their strengths and resources. Through our work my clients deepen their connection to themselves, others and the natural world. As these connections grow I support my clients to uncover limiting patterns that inhibit their relationships, creativity and happiness so they can nourish new ways of moving and relating in the world that support authenticity, ease, and joy.

Clients coming to see me are generally in one of three categories: 1) People who are unhappy and know why. They have experienced loss, mistreatment, oppression, trauma, major illness, discrimination, or other experiences that they identify as the source of their distress. 2) People who are unhappy and don't know why. They may feel depressed, anxious, or dissatisfied with their lives and not know the reason. 3) People who feel okay but want to come to life more fully and feel even better.

Jasmine has been working with people for as long as she can remember. She got her start as a teenager, assisting her aunt who owned a behavior center, supporting individuals with autism and special needs. That early experience sparked something in her. Over the years, she's built more than a decade of experience through providing play therapy to young children to supporting those advancing in age to facilitating engagement of families. From working in group homes to residential treatment centers, Jasmine has been able to see how healing looks at every stage of life. This range has given her the ability to meet people where they are.

We all set out on our life's path choosing the direction that will bring us the most joy. Sometimes that pathway leads us off the course of happiness and fulfillment, and into the unexpected. When this happens, you may find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or in the middle of an unhealthy relationship. It's possible to find a new pathway to take so that you can feel your life is back on track. Therapy can provide you with the tools and support you need. It will also create a feeling that you are no longer alone on your journey. I'd love to help you become more confident and ready to take on a new direction in your life.

I believe in the human spirit and our capacity to make positive changes in all aspects of our lives, even in the face of adversity. By exploring our thought patterns, we can better identify feelings that affect our actions on a daily basis. We can then make effective changes that improve the quality of our lives, decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression and providing us with a more peaceful and joyful life. I also believe in the benefit of human interaction with other loving creatures; you will meet my little Yorkie-Poo therapy partner, Mojo, when you come to visit me. He loves children and adults.
