Hello, my name is Janet. My mission is to support others on their journey to leading a healthy, rewarding life to their fullest potential. Life gets complicated at times, and everyone can benefit from working with a therapist at one point or another. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master's degree in Social Work from the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor's degree from Mercyhurst College. I have years of experience working with adults struggling with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorder, bipolar disorder, addiction, and PTSD.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will focus on getting to know you and to gather some basic information to help me understand your current life circumstances. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to help you work through past and present challenges. Together we will develop a plan to help you work towards a healthier, happier future.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have the ability to empathize and understand the struggles of others. I empower individuals to prioritize self-care and support them in learning to love themselves again. I empathize with the barriers our LGBTQIA+ face and welcome clients from all genders and sexual identities.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, peer relationships, self-esteem concerns and suicidal ideation.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) This is my main focus of treatment as it encompasses thoughts, feelings and behaviors and helps overcome negative intrusive thoughts we often have about our selves, others and the world around us.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP) focuses on learning skills and techniques that help reduce suicidal ideation for patients who struggle with a history of suicidal thoughts or history of attempts.
