I help people connect with themselves, significant others, and community so they can meaningfully engage in life. I am known for my warmth and commitment to high quality care, especially with clients who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, or in a larger body. I am a Health at Every Size clinician.⁠⁠ My practice is culturally affirming and anti-oppressive. I'm licensed in GA, SC, FL, IA, VT, and CO.

My clients enjoy a variety of experiences in sessions from being deeply heard, felt and validated to being accompanied as they remember and explore issues of concern and curiosity. We bond as they get to know themselves better through these experiences of self. They begin to heal childhood wounds and finish developing in ways they might not have thought possible.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and culturally sensitive mental health support to individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and marital issues. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices. I recognize that everyone's journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet their needs.

Transforming your life in therapy is a bold act of self-love! Together, we can work on releasing pain and shame, building strong coping skills, developing true self-compassion, understanding yourself, and challenging limiting beliefs and behaviors. You are the expert of your life, so my role is providing a judgment-free space to figure out how you can shed the burdens that may be holding you back. I love working with neurodivergent and queer clients, and hope you'll bring your authentic, human self to my office! I have experience with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, panic, depression, grief, body image, and relationships.

My aim is to support my clients in navigating the obstacles that life throws their way, whether it be emotional struggles, stress, overwhelming thoughts caused by anxiety and depression, or relationship/family struggles. Properly managing these barriers can be crucial for your overall wellness and the quality of life we lead.

At times, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves when we are in need of help. It can be even more difficult to admit this to someone else. Counseling, however, creates a safe space to share struggles, fears, feelings, experiences, and more. Counseling can provide peace of mind in good times or bad. As a counselor it is my goal to provide you with a space that is warm and welcoming, and one which you can come as you are! I provide counseling services from a non-judgmental and empathetic point of view.

How does safe space, acceptance just as you are, and conversation in which you feel met affect you? Do you find you are better able to say what’s really going on when carefully listened to and with no rush? I believe therapy is an opportunity to pause in the busy life we usually live to explore what we really think and feel. It is also a chance to explore your strengths, what is working, and what is getting in your way. Together we seek to hear your inner wisdom speak more and more distinctly. I am here to offer you a grounded, secure presence for the work you have come to do.

“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” -Lisa Olivera. Do you find yourself constantly worrying, stressed, or like you are trapped, and you cannot seem to escape? Do you sometimes feel like no one understands you? You do not have to struggle in silence. I am pleased that you have taken the first step in addressing your concerns. In my practice, I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to be able to share whatever is on your mind and where we can explore your concerns together. Let’s sit down and talk!

I may be a counselor but I'm always Jasmine. I bring my authentic self to each session so my clients can feel safe to do the same. I strive to meet my clients where they are and assist them in gaining the tools they need to accomplish whatever goals they have set for themselves and become the version of themselves they desire. I don't believe in the "one size fits all" method and truly tailor not only my approach for that client based on their needs but also each session. I'd be honored to assist anyone in the journey with mental health wellness. Who said games are for kids? Therapy Uno anyone?

As queer women, we often have more challenges to navigate than others and sometimes we need extra support. I can provide you with that support. I work with queer women who are struggling with feelings of stress, relationships concerns, dating, anxiety, parenting, marriage, depression, & frustration. I also help people struggling with ADHD and with grief/loss. I am a doctoral level psychologist & have graduated & trained in programs accredited by the American Psychological Association.

Feeling anxious, tense, and struggling to move on from your past is your day-to-day norm right now... and it absolutely sucks. You’re overwhelmed, your thoughts are looping, and this cycle feels impossible- much like that to do list for the big life goal you’ve been putting off. Your self-confidence has been impacted, you're not sure who you are anymore and your body is tired. Your go-to ways of dealing with life aren’t cutting it, and you’re seeing it’s time to take your healing to the next level. Therapy is something you’ve done in the past, but may have just dipped your toes into and now you’re seeing it’s time to dive in.

Struggling with finding relief from low mood or traumatic responses? Have you tried self-help, medications, or even several years of traditional talk therapy without relief? Maybe you are finding difficulty maintaining secure attachments or have relationship issues. I'm glad you're here. This journey to healing is tough, and you shouldn't have to do it alone. My clinical experience and training has focused on treating adult clients with concerns related to depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional abuse, relationship issues, personality disorders, and life-transitions.

Do you have anxious, racing thoughts that keep you up at night? Are there aspects of your life that feel out of control or problems that are insurmountable? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by your daily to do list or regularly dreading aspects of your life? Anxiety and depression have become a common part of everyday life for so many people. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can get unstuck and make choices that improve the stress level in your life and move you toward a happier reality.

In my office I offer clients a warm and supportive therapeutic environment where issues can be successfully addressed and resolved. But it is only with the client's effort and desire to change that psychotherapy is most successuful. Through the years I have found that a direct approach in therapy is most valuable as it allows us both to target those beliefs and behaviors which may require change.

We are capable of far more than we realize. Often, we limit ourselves through worn out narratives surrounding shameful experiences and perceived faults. What we need is a new perspective and ways to rewrite our stories that empower us to move forward with purpose. I work with teens and adults navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and challenging life transitions, amongst other issues. I support clients to build inner resources, gain self-compassion, and become empowered individuals.

Offering phone and video sessions for individuals under quarantine due to COVID-19. In person sessions are now available. My name is Emily and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals, couples, and families who are facing challenges related to difficult transitions. In working with my clients it's important for me to understand the social context they live and work within, in order to break down barriers and challenge distorted perceptions that may be keeping them from making the changes they want to make. Allow me to partner with you to find ways where you can manage your obligations & restore your happiness.

As your therapist, I would provide a collaborative partnership that allows you to move towards your goals; both support and challenge would be provided to allow opportunities for healing and personal growth. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is crucial for psychotherapy to be effective. A strong relationship can allow for self-reflection and a greater understanding of ourselves and our patterns in relationships, helps us manage challenges, nurture feelings of empowerment, allow us to take the risks we want, and afford us opportunities for resiliency and greater life satisfaction.
