I help people facing difficulties in their lives to grow, understand, and thrive. My past experiences include the provision and supervision of crisis services, as well as years of work in the behavioral health policy realm. I believe in the advancement of the rights of all individuals as a personal and professional responsibility. Currently, I specialize in trauma-informed therapy to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Together we will collaborate to nurture resilience, foster self-acceptance, and build meaningful connections in your life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, you can tell me the problems that brought you to therapy. Then, we will go through a series of questions and conversations about your social and family history, and current stressors. My hope is to create goals with you and together, determine how to work best towards them.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am very direct, while still listening empathetically and being fully present. I want to ensure that I understand your strengths and challenges, and that I can work with you as a partner to help address these.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I serve adults, particularly those experiencing intermittent depressive or anxious symptoms. I work well with women, men, the LGBTQ+ community, and older adults.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. My goal is to work with clients to identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior to better understand them, and Identify those than can be most healthy and supportive.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS can be utilized to help clients identify problematic parts of themselves, to better understand them and their needs, and work towards an integrated approach to addressing life's difficulties and challenges.

Jana is fabulous. She is so good at helping me talk through my emotions and understand where they are coming from. She is very open-minded and has the magic of relating to my situations and knowing where I am going before I even get there. I never feel judged and feel incredibly comfortable telling her anything. I always feel 100 times lighter after our sessions.
