We all deserve solidarity, connection, and love in our healing, and I’d be honored to be in solidarity with you in yours.
Hi and welcome! I’m Jasmine (she/they).
I am a therapist because I love us humans! I will listen, support, explore, and truly be there with you.
My experiences as both a client and a therapist has shown me that therapy can provide a sacred space to befriend our internal experience, connect to our bodies, share and reauthor stories, and explore the path of healing from trauma within us and within our relationships.
I specialize in complex trauma, relationships, couples, and empowering the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and young adults. I hold space for individuals, relationships, and couples to slow down with patterns and attachment/trauma responses with compassion, connect with their internal experience, amplify strengths, and explore new patterns and possibilities for healing.

Values & Approach
In the space we share, I strive to support you with a therapeutic relationship that is accepting, loving, and responsive. My style is collaborative, strengths-based, intersectional, and grounded in social justice and liberation psychology.
My approach to therapy is experiential and relational. Meaning, our time together will center on the experiences we have together. That might look like slowing down, connecting with our bodies and taking a deep breath together, exploring how we impact one another, engaging in a guided imagery exercise, or turning to your partner in relationship therapy to share what is happening for you.
Anti-oppression
I acknowledge and have experienced the United States' carceral mental healthcare system and its oppressive history and continued violence. I utilize a systemic approach to acknowledge power and systems of oppression (colonialism, racism, white supremacy, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, transphobia, among many more) and their impact on our health and relationships.
Creativity
I believe your therapy should adapt to you and your creativity, meaning we don’t just talk and analyze— we imagine, dream, move, draw, and breathe—you can expect me to connect with you in way that honors your humanness as an artist of your own healing and internal experience.
Authenticity
My priority is to support you in showing up as wholly yourself in therapy, and I will meet your there as wholly myself with a welcoming, encouraging relationship. All parts of you are welcome. You can also expect honesty, accountability, and connecting with you to repair when I make mistakes in our relationship.
Somatics
I believe that pain, trauma, joy, pleasure, and the full range of human experience is connected to our bodies. Thus, our healing can only go so far in our minds. I integrate opportunities to bring your body into your healing though trauma-informed Yoga, breathwork, and emotion-focused approaches.
Education & Experience
Lived Experience
My lived experience as a human supports my work as a therapist. I have had experiences of not feeling seen and heard in my own mental health care, and I know how important it can be that your therapist understands or shares your identities or educates themselves to support and affirm you.
My experience is vast— I grew up in the Midwest, studied psychology at a military academy on the East Coast, and was stationed in Oklahoma, Colorado, and deployed to Eastern Europe during my time in the military. After leaving the military, I worked in sexual and reproductive health care before becoming a social worker and therapist. As a veteran I oppose the military industrial complex and hold anti-imperialist, decolonial, and abolitionist values that I am continuing to learn and embody. I am Queer, gender fluid, white, disabled, neurodivergent, spiritual, an animal and nature lover, a former collegiate athlete, and a partner, friend, and community member. I continue to receive my own therapy and support in my recovery and healing from trauma. The therapeutic relationships I have had and continue to lean on help empower me to see myself with compassion and engage in a lifelong process of acknowledging, navigating, and finding healing and liberation from experiences that have harmed me, those I love, and harm us.
