LCSW, 16 years of experience
Hi there, I'm Jaenai. You made the right decision to seek out someone to talk to. We all deserve to have someone neutral to listen to our thoughts and feelings without judgement and to accept us for who we are. Are you struggling with figuring out what is happening with your emotions, behaviors, relationships, school/work, and/or health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself and others? I help with managing trauma, 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 also speak Spanish. COUPLES are CASH ONLY.
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.
All age ranges: Children (2-12), teenagers (13-18), adults (18+), and seniors.
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past sixteen years. It’s helped my clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and change their desired behaviors. 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 your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors after a traumatic experience. We’ll then use the components from the TF-CBT model to help you manage trauma related triggers for you to live a life after trauma.
When appropriate, we will use Solution Focused brief treatment to construct solutions and formulate, motivate, achieve, and sustain desired behavioral change.
