Investing in your relationships is the first step to healing
In our relationships, we are all looking to understand, grow, and heal ourselves to have healthier connections with those we love. Whether your relationship has been years in the making, happily married, or it’s a budding new romance, the opportunity to experience change is always yours.
To feel lost and afraid is okay and you don’t have to do it alone
I believe that we all have the answers to questions we ask ourselves. It’s just a matter of getting quiet and becoming curious about the behaviors, patterns, and past experiences that have shaped you - and is now showing up in your relationship. Beginning therapy provides a safe space to explore the impacts and barriers of how you are showing up in your relationships and ultimately investing in your healing.
Hey, I’m Jasmine!
I am passionate about working with couples and individuals to enhance their emotional and relational quality and creating long-lasting, safe, and fulfilling connections.
By empowering the relationship, I help partners become more attuned to themselves by connecting to their authenticity while cultivating relational and emotional awareness.
Specialties
I work best offering support and guidance with:
Couples Therapy
In relationships, we claim to desire deeper intimacy with our partner, the reality is that we are all scared of what that intimacy may look like. We behave in ways that’s the opposite - passive aggressive, shutting down, blaming. Couples therapy can facilitate safety and support for each partner’s feeling seen and their voices being heard, while connecting and strengthening the relationship.
Sex Therapy
Sex is complex! Sex is improvisation and not a script, and very often does it goes as planned. Whether you’re experiencing a loss of connection, low sex drive, “can’t get it right”, or having trouble sharing with your partner something new you want to try, talking about sexual issues can be hard. You may feel embarrassed or even hopeless. Taking a deep dive and directly addressing what is causing concerns can be the start of a healthy, safe, and positive sex life.
Trauma & Relational Awareness
It didn’t start with you. Trauma and other relational hurts can impact you and cause a lot of chaos and confusion, that you may not understand fully. Most of the time, this confusion shows up in our relationships with others. In order to begin healing, it is important to identify and understand our hurts and how we are showing up to support and nourish the most important relationship - the one with ourselves.

If you are in a relationship and having a tough time, it all begins with knowing you need support and getting curious about what needs to be different or at least where to start. Click through the drop downs to see if you resonate with the following. If so, scroll down for even more!

I can help you and your partner discover how to share more about what you are thinking, feeling, needing, and why it matters - without the ultimatums. Learning how to do this, not helps you as individual get more clear but will also reduce conflict within the relationship.

Learning how to say what’s on your heart and feel confident about it can be a beautiful experience. I can help you learn what keeps you stuck and how to be more clear with your partner.

Most of us have experienced struggling to get our needs met because we’re afraid to ask.
Being and open and recognizing that you have influence over how to get your needs met - means you don’t have to chase people down.
Develop the skills that strengthen your relationship
The approaches to support you
Working with the Developmental Model allows each partner to develop the skills they are weak in or missing – an “emotional muscle” to start knowing themselves. This assists each partner to communicate clearly, increase self-awareness, and gain curiosity about what one another is saying while being present and managing their own reactions without losing our sense of self. This means that each partner will learn what their own thoughts, feelings, needs, and desires are and how to communicate them consistently and clearly to their partner, while allowing their partner to do the same. Over time, this requires each partner to tolerate differences and conflict healthily and empower the relationship, to deepen intimacy.
Utilizing my knowledge from my Sex Therapy Certificate through CIIS, I recognize sexuality is not about working on people having sex but a lens to see our beliefs, values, hopes, and longing for something better. Sex therapy is more about educating and learning about the complex relationship between identities, fantasies, preferences, eroticisms, and behaviors. It’s also about encouraging open conversations about minding the body, reading the body, using the “emotional muscle” (see above ) to access your thoughts, feelings, and needs without becoming overwhelmed to take action through the trauma, through the desire to talk and feel through your body to reconnect and better understand what can be true for you and your partner.
If any of the following resonates with you (or about your relationship), then you’ve come to the right place.
