Jasmine Payne, LPC
Short Pump, VA
My approach centers on normalizing the challenges couples face and helping them rediscover hope for change. I see conflict as a doorway to deeper connection, especially when couples learn to slow down, communicate needs clearly, and replace assumptions with understanding. In our work together, I help partners build the skills that make closeness possible again. With eight years of experience, I bring honesty, care, and a steady presence to help couples move from feeling stuck to feeling more aligned, connected, and fulfilled.
