My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful.

I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR.

Therapist

Therapy is personal, and I believe it should feel that way. With nearly nine years of experience, I've learned that meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable enough to let their guard down and simply be themselves. My sessions are conversational, genuine, and often include humor when it's helpful, so clients frequently leave feeling like they've had a real conversation instead of a formal counseling session while also gaining practical, evidence-based strategies they can apply in everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with other evidence-based approaches, to help clients create lasting change.

Hi, I'm Yasmeen and I know starting therapy can feel like a big, overwhelming step. Maybe you've been putting it off, unsure if it'll actually help or worried about what it'll feel like to open up to someone new. I get it. And I want you to know: this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are, no performance required.

I'm a therapist with a Master's degree from Nicholls State University, and I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, anger, grief, stress, and relationship or family challenges. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone anymore.
