LMFT
Hello! My name is Jasmine Maya and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have always had a passion for working with couples and seeing how they grow. Regardless of the relationship level, any couple can benefit from maintenance and care. Throughout my numerous years of experience, I have studied, researched, and trained in order to assist couples in finding new ways to grow, compromise, and reach one another.
I have my Gottman Method Level 1 certification, which is one of the leading evidence-based practices geared toward helping couples repair and discover new levels to their relationship. While couples-counseling is my passion, I have also developed a desire to work with individuals who have had traumatic experiences. Everyone has had their own share of suffering and how it impacts each of us varies greatly.
My numerous trainings in this area have provided me with a solid foundation in being able to assist clients in identifying and processing through past trauma. There are countless roads and experiences within life, and I strive to be a resource that helps you create your own path.
