My career has enabled me to work with a variety of populations in the mental health field. My work is rewarding and feels more like a calling than a job. My goal is to provide my clients support and provide a safe space for them to express themselves. I listen and I care.

I enjoy treating each client individually and collaborating with them to address their concerns and implement changes to improve their quality of life.

Together we collaborate to create an individualized treatment plan to address your specific concerns. I make myself available, I’m flexible, and I am invested in your growth.

First session

During the first session we will get to know a little about each other, discuss what has been affecting you, and agree on how I can help.

Strengths

I’m genuine, trustworthy, sincere, and an attentive listener. I am invested in my clients growth and well being.

Treatment methods

Humanistic

The humanistic therapist looks at the whole person, focusing on their positive traits and potential to grow. Together we focus on the growth and development of your own instincts. Over time this growth helps you heal your self, and find their own wisdom. My hope is that we are both positively impacted by the therapeutic relationship, my goal is for you to get back to living your life, with a renewed sense of purpose and awareness.

Janet is very understanding of my medical conditions and I just met her via video visit. I felt so comfortable with her warmth and open to not judging me on my health issues.

Janet is the best therapist I have ever had. She is warm, caring and empathetic. I look forward to our sessions, learn more about myself and working through my issues. I like how she remembers what we have talked about and we are building on it.
