Hi, I'm Jazmin

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, and I work with teens and young adults who are dealing with anxiety and eating disorders. I came to this work because therapy helped me with my own anxiety growing up. In our sessions we'll go at your pace, figure out what's getting in the way, and practice skills you can actually use day to day.

You're not alone.

If any of these sound familiar, there's hope. Together we can build the skills to loosen their grip, so you can enjoy more of your life.

Racing thoughts

Your mind keeps going, even when you want it to slow down.

Trouble concentrating

Your focus drifts at school, at work, or in the middle of a conversation.

Having a hard time saying how you feel

Speaking up about what you need feels too risky.

Dreading new places or social plans

Parties, plans, and new places bring more worry than fun.

Needing things to be "perfect"

Small mistakes feel huge, so you check and recheck.

Having a hard time being spontaneous

Everything needs a plan first, and the fun moments slip by.

Worrying a lot about food or your body

Food, weight, or the mirror take up more of your day than you'd like.

My approach

In our first session, we'll make a plan together and set goals that matter to you. These are the four approaches I use to help you get there.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT looks at how your thoughts, feelings, body, and actions affect each other. It helps you break unhelpful patterns by taking big problems one small piece at a time.

How CBT works

EMDR Therapy

EMDR helps your brain process painful memories so they feel less intense. It's best known for trauma, and it can also help with anxiety and the experiences behind eating disorders.

How EMDR works

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT uses mindfulness to help you notice your thoughts and feelings without judging them, so you can get unstuck and focus on what matters to you.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT teaches skills for handling big emotions, getting through hard moments, and improving your relationships.
