Hi there, I'm Jasmine!
I look forward to helping you grow by building on your inherent strengths, fostering resilience, and uncovering the inner resources you already possess. Through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I can guide you in setting meaningful goals and taking empowered steps toward lasting change.
I am passionate about supporting African-American women and other persons of color who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational challenges. Together, we will explore the underlying factors contributing to your challenges, while also focusing on how to empower you to make meaningful, lasting changes.
My practice is rooted in a strength-based, client-centered framework, which means I meet you where you are, without judgment, and work collaboratively with you to uncover and build on your existing strengths. My approach focuses on what's working, not just what's wrong-helping you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. I lead with active listening and validation, because I believe feeling seen is the foundation for real healing. At the same time, I'll gently challenge any thought patterns or beliefs that might be keeping you stuck.
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by personal experiences and a commitment to supporting others. I was drawn to this work because of the stigma around mental health in my own culture. Seeing people suffer in silence made me want to help break that silence and create space for healing.
I believe the foundation of effective therapy is genuine connection. In our work together, I'll take time to really get to know you-who you are, where you come from, and what matters most. From there, we'll identify what feels most challenging and create goals that are realistic, meaningful, and aligned with what you want to achieve.

03 · What happens next
Jasmine practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jasmine's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jasmine at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jasmine is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jasmine.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
