Psychologist

Yasmine brings an eclectic, trauma-informed and client-centered approach to her work and aims to provide a supportive and safe environment for her clients to be able to fully express themselves.
Yasmine believes that a client is the number one expert on their life and accordingly sees her role is to guide them towards deeper self-awareness and to self-actualize and achieve their goals, not to give them advice about how to run their life.
She approaches her clients with empathy, genuineness and understanding and tailors treatment goals based on client needs.
