Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Lake Oswego, OR

Is life becoming challenging, overwhelming, confusing, unfair, and more? I understand! I have over 30 years of experience supporting people struggling with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma & PTSD, grief & loss, life changes, abuse, and more. I personally and professionally understand the dynamics that accompany many of these life challenges.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking a real change in their life. Sometimes you are "tired of the rut I am in" or feeling that "something needs to change..I do not want to feel like this anymore." Sometimes you are struggling with "old issues" and sometimes it is more current stresses like anxiety, relationships, or just do not know what to do next; I believe when you are ready to make a change, having a supportive push can really work!

Hey, I'm Jasmine. I generally work with folks who have challenges with trauma recovery, autism, ADHD, and anxiety. As a therapist, I'd describe myself as authentic, curious, and direct while also focused on creating a space where my client can show up as themself without feeling judged or unwanted. I enjoy curating the session to fit the comfort needs/wants of the person I'm with which can include using fidget toys, sitting on the floor, snacking, listening to music, etc.

I am a Professional Counselor Registered Associate in the State of Oregon and I am currently working towards my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I really enjoy working with individuals experiencing chronic health conditions as it allows me to apply my passion for the mind-body connection, trauma-informed care, and person-centered treatment focused on empathy and strength. I also have a strong passion for trauma-informed treatment working with LGBTQIA+ individuals. As a LGBTQIA+ identifying individual, I find it highly rewarding working alongside individuals as they explore their gender and sexuality and processing past traumas.

My ideal clients are adults who have anxiety, panic, phobias, adjustment difficulties, and who are adult survivors of childhood trauma. My clients often struggle with feeling alone or ashamed of their feelings or experiences. Some have experienced criticism for how they've dealt with their struggles. Others have an inner critic that keeps them awake at night. My clients want peace of mind. They want to learn how to effectively address anxiety and stress and work toward an improved sense of self.

Your pain is a key that can unlock the door to a better life. As a psychologist, I work to help you turn that key- to help open yourself to the compassion, enjoyment, and fulfillment that are waiting for you.

I use a form of cognitive behavioral therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which has been shown by research to be effective not only in reducing suffering but also in increasing life satisfaction.

As a therapist, my goal in therapy is to help you identify changes you want to make and create a path together to make those changes that lead you to “out-grow” therapy.

I have extensive experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings with strong therapeutic, crisis intervention and educational skills that lead to decreasing negative symptoms and increasing productivity and feeling better.

Being part of the interconnected natural world, we thrive in connection, and without connection, we wither. In our work together we will collaborate in understanding what makes you come alive and wither, to look for ways to get unstuck and make meaning of your emotions, reactivity, and suffering.

My role is to restore balance, build communication, and provide support to help you create space to learn and integrate new skills and encourage new perspectives as you grow and thrive in connections.
