Welcome to Geborgen Therapy!
Supporting you on your journey through life.
Hi! My name is Jasmin and I provide individual and couples counselling related to common life challenges. I specialize in life and role transitions, with a particular focus on the journey of parenthood, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety.
You may have searched for a therapist because:
You are anxious, sad, or overwhelmed
You feel like you have lost who you used to be
You’re feeling overcome by guilt
You can no longer manage your stress
You’re angry and are not sure where the anger comes from
You’ve noticed you’re more irritable than you used to be
You feel lost and even resentful in your relationship(s)
You are struggling with body image concerns, self-esteem, and/or perfectionism
You want to speak up, be heard, and feel understood
You want to find ways to tolerate distress
You are grieving a loss
You’re interested in knowing yourself better and to show up in life in different ways
Whichever way you are feeling right now- just know you have come to the right place.
