My name is Jazmine. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping people take charge of their mental health and overall well-being. Life can be challenging, and whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach to care—one that prioritizes your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take positive steps toward healing. Mental health care shouldn’t be intimidating or one-size-fits-all, so I work with you to find the best strategies and treatments tailored to your needs.

Building a strong, trusting partnership with my patients is at the heart of my practice. I know that small steps can lead to big transformations, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to better mental health.

I look forward to working with you and helping you build the tools and confidence to live a healthier, more balanced life!

You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a place where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, and identity exploration. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, and helpers who spend so much time supporting others that they forget to care for themselves. I provide sex-positive, kink-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy and affirming care for people in consensually nonmonogamous (CNM) relationships, creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self.

Self-love is the idea that one must love oneself to achieve happiness and love from others. It always made me feel some type of way. To survive, we are forced to constantly grind; to hustle. If that wasn't enough, we face daily oppression, including racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, colorism, texturism, and more! Self-love seems more and more like a folk tale similar to the American Dream: a goal that was not created for people of the global majority.

Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is showing up before you even know what you want out of it. If you're feeling stuck, frustrated, or like something needs to change but you can't quite name what, that's exactly where we start. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, and the kind of life experiences that feel too big to sort out alone. You don't need to come in with clear goals. We'll figure that out together.

David Routly

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


For more than two decades, I've had the privilege of sitting with people in some of their most difficult moments — and watching them discover that they are far more capable than they believed.


My work centers on three areas where people often feel most misunderstood: addiction and dual diagnosis, ADHD and anxiety, and trauma, especially religious trauma or spiritual deconstruction. These aren't just clinical categories to me — they're experiences that carry real weight, real stigma, and real complexity. My clients deserve a therapist who takes that seriously.
