My treatment methods

Humanistic

The humanistic therapist looks at the whole person, focusing on their positive traits and potential to grow. Together we focus on developing person and their instincts. Over time their development helps them heal, grow and find their own wisdom. My hope is that we are both postively impacted by the relationship, no matter the duration. My goal is to focus on solutions first, and improving our responses over time.

She listens. First. And when the time is right, we consider options.

Janet was incredibly warm and welcoming, and I instantly felt comfortable with her during our initial session. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when meeting someone for the first time, but she created an environment where I felt at ease from the very beginning. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Janet and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a therapist who is kind, thoughtful, and easy to talk to.
