Jasmeen strengthens youth and families. She builds upon their personal competencies, pursues educational equity, and advocates for social justice . She believes that all people can benefit from therapy and aims to remove the stigma of seeking mental health treatment and support.

Additionally, she appreciates the systems approach and encourages clients to connect with social networks to foster purpose and belonging. 

Jasmeen is a Licensed Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
