What's My Approach to Therapy?
Hi, I’m Jasmine. I primarily specialize in trauma work and secondarily specialize in working with neurodivergent folks. I personally experience complex PTSD and ADHD which helps me approach therapy in a realistic and grounded way. Rather than trying to fit someone into a therapeutic box, I work with them to adjust and create tools and approaches to fit their particular flavor of therapeutic need.
Clients often describe me as intuitive, compassionate, sensitive, wise beyond my years (I get this one a lot; thank you trauma lol), and able to provide meaningful feedback. Sharing space with me, clients often describe themselves as feeling seen, validated, not judged, and safe to share sensitive feelings and stories sometimes for the first time in their lives. I never expect a client to feel safe with me, in part because it just isn't realistic for some of us, and also, I do what I can to encourage as much comfort as possible. I personally would describe my therapist self as intuitive, confrontational, and engaged. I am eager to match the effort my clients put in and do not shy away from the deep work, which often means holding people accountable through care and compassion. I am an “all-in” type of therapist and work best with clients who have the same mentality.
My Practice & Services
My approach to trauma work moves at your pace. We'll figure out what's actually doable right now and build from there, balancing challenge with care so healing feels possible, not overwhelming. I'll gently guide you through moments of pushing into the experience, pausing with what's coming up, or taking a break, honoring your pace while growing your capacity to process and soothe.
I practice therapy holistically, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and environment. I integrate somatic techniques, mindfulness, creative interventions. EMDR, and relationally focused therapy to support healing on all levels. My goal is to empower clients to connect deeply with themselves and navigate life's challenges from a place of wholeness and self acceptance.
On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
I offer a therapy group for folks who haven't been to therapy before and are curious to learn more. If starting therapy feels intimidating to you or you're unsure where to start and how to navigate your way to the "right" therapist, maybe this soft launch into the therapy world could be worth your attention.
This 4-week educational group is designed for people who haven't been to therapy and are curious to learn more.
Together, we'll explore the ins and outs of therapy, discover what kind of therapist might be the best fit for you, discuss helpful strategies for finding one, and prepare you for your first session - all for the price of one therapy session.
Each week focuses on a new stage of your therapy exploration: 1) Understanding Therapy, 2) Identifying a "Good Fit", 3) Finding a Therapist, and 4) Preparing for a First Session.
Leave the group feeling more confident, informed, and empowered to create your therapy journey the way you want.
