Hi there, I'm Jaenai. You are here and you made the right decision to seek out mental health support. Are you struggling with figuring out what is happening with your relationships, school/work, and/or health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself and others? I help with managing depression and anxiety. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self, client-centered approach, addressing the needs of your mind and body. I also integrate mindfulness to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself and others. Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy at all can feel intimidating, but you're making the right decision. You deserve a safe space to talk to find yourself to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and we will use evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Schedule your first appointment today. I currently only take individual clients. I also speak Spanish.
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. This first session is considered the “intake” session for psychotherapy treatment.
Trauma, depression, and anxiety are my strengths. I have experience with working with children, adults, and seniors in various settings; such as communities, schools, and hospitals.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past fourteen years. It’s helped hundreds of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their behavioral health symptoms. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a life you are in charge of.
We’ll use Trauma-focused CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other after a traumatic experience. We’ll then use the modules from the model to help you manage trauma related reminders and learn how to manage trauma related reminders., which will help you lead a life you are in charge of.
When appropriate, we will use Solution Focused brief treatment to construct solutions and formulate, motivate, achieve, and sustain desired behavioral change.
