(she/her)
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.
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.
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.

Jana is an open-minded and compassionate therapist who sees through defenses with kindness and insight. I feel understood, not cornered, and safe enough to be honest. That has made a real difference for me.

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.
