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 growth and development helps them heal and find their own wisdom. My hope is that we are both positively impacted by the therapeutic relationship, no matter the duration.

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.
