Jasmine Greene, MSW, LCSW, CT, OSW-C

Jaz is an Oncology Social Worker who somehow made grief work her happy place. She believes grief is one of the most beautifully human emotions we get to experience; messy, tender, honest. She’s endlessly inspired by the ways people express it. Whether she’s helping someone find community, rediscover creativity, or simply breathe through a hard moment, Jaz brings warmth, curiosity, and a big dose of humanity to her work.

She loves weaving creative expression into the healing process, from art-based reflection to playful journaling prompts. Nothing delights her more than watching patients find community.

Outside the office, she fully embraces her inner creative gremlin. She spends her free time reading, collaging, junk journaling, painting, cooking, and wandering through thrift stores like they’re museums. She also loves diving into harmless conspiracy-theory rabbit holes. Strictly for entertainment, wonder, and the joy of asking, “But what if…?”

Jaz brings heart, humor, and creative spark to everything she does, professionally and personally.
