Meet Jazlyn
Therapy isn't about finding the perfect explanation for why life unfolded the way it did. It's about making sense of what we can, grieving what we can't, and deciding where to go from here.
That's probably the social worker in me.
I'm drawn to understanding people in context. Our experiences, relationships, identities, and environments shape how we move through the world, but they don't have to define where we go next. When I sit down with a client, I'm less interested in asking, "What's wrong with you?" and more interested in asking, "What happened, and where do we go from here?"
I'm also someone who likes a method to the madness because insight alone doesn't create change. That's what drew me to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and why I'm currently pursuing certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches give us a way to move beyond understanding and into action, providing structure without losing sight of the human being sitting in front of me.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring together curiosity, evidence based care, and a whole person perspective. My goal is to help you make sense of what you can, find your footing in what you can't, and build a life that feels meaningful moving forward.

When I’m Not in Therapist Mode. . . .
I’m usually surrounded by the people who fill my cup. I’m naturally extroverted and feel most recharged when I’m spending time with my partner, daughter, family, and friends.
I also really enjoy cooking and sharing good food, especially exploring new restaurants whenever my budget can keep up with my appetite. Lately, I’ve been really enjoying escaping into romantasy book worlds.
A Note From Me

A Note From Me ·
I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they have, even when it doesn’t feel that way.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You don’t need to be less emotional or more “put together.”
You just need a place to start.
