Hi, I’m Jasmine (she/her).

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York. I am also licensed in New Jersey and Connecticut (LPC).

My Approach & Background

Creative & Collaborative

I believe the therapeutic process is a unique, powerful, active, creative, collaborative, and professional relationship that has the potential for individuals to feel a sense of safety, non judgment, validation, empowerment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I value the arts, social justice, inclusivity and sex-positivity and try to incorporate them into my work. I utilize an eclectic approach of Multicultural, Feminist, Existential, Relational, DBT, IFS and EMDR therapy that can help foster change, awareness, acceptance and growth.

Insightful & Intuitive

I have experience working with cancer patients and caregivers, elderly adults, women, BIPOC and LGBTQ populations in regards to chronic pain, illness, health, trauma, loss, grief, loneliness, life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression and explorations of race, culture, sexual orientation and gender identity. I also enjoy working with first generation, immigrant and/or diaspora communities and identities and enjoy when culture, art, media and current events enter the virtual room. I also welcome your feedback and try to use and model patience, humor, authenticity, the here and now, and mindfulness based techniques in my approach. I believe you are the expert and try to help empower clients to step into their sense of agency. I also try to incorporate and learn about your culture, context and values. I am currently learning more about Neurodiversity and affirming best practices.

I graduated from New York University’s Applied Psychology Program with honors and minored in English Literature. I have a Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling and a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching sci-fi & anime, astrology, photography and spending time with my dog, Jedi (who you might see virtually every so often or upon request).

7 years of experience

I have been practicing since 2017 in settings such as hospitals, private practice and crisis/hotline work. I am EMDR trained and have research experience in understanding clinician experiences providing psychological evaluation for asylum seekers, gender and power, race based traumatic stress, educational activism, and financial literacy high school programs. I also have 4 years of supervising experience. I continue to try to challenge myself, learn and grow for my clients, other clinicians and myself.
Values your trust & safety

I try my best to prioritize your trust and safety and acknowledge and understand the responsibility therapy work and the therapeutic process entails. I try my best to advocate for a more just & inclusive world and try to address any power differentials and/or how power shows up in the room. Your safety and stability come first.
Prioritizes your support needs

I try my best to check in with you about your plan of care and treatment. I value your feedback and it is welcome at any time. If there's anything you'd like to see more of or did not like, let me know! You are welcome to take breaks or eat or bring any safety or support objects into the room during our session times.

EMDR

Best for anyone who has been experiencing PTSD, flashbacks, panic attacks, nightmares, and reliving or replaying distressing events or experiences you have been through or witnessed.

Offerings & Orientations

DBT

Composed of mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. For those needing coping and skills support for relationships and every day life stressors. Great foundation to do later trauma work and great for people who need tangible skills and like structure and homework.

IFS

An affirming therapy that fosters better self awareness and understanding, decreases feelings of shame and increases self compassion and acceptance. Best for complex trauma and dissociation.
