***PLEASE NOTE: I am not accepting new clients at this time. The available appointments are placeholders so existing clients can be linked with me through Grow Therapy.*** Beyond feeling better, I like to help people feel like themselves. You might be coming to therapy feeling lost, confused, or defeated. Let's get to know your world, with its parts big and small. When you find how everything is connected, you can truly connect with yourself and meet your needs.

Get to know me

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

I will be purposeful and flexible. We will discuss what you're looking for and how we will get there.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I think therapy gets shrouded in mystery and people feel the process is elusive to them. I'm a direct, expressive, collaborative member of your team.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I help workaholics, optimizers, martyrs, and cult survivors unpack their urgency. You get to learn how to rest, recover, and discover your sense of agency.

My treatment methods

Trauma Informed Care

We may knowingly or unknowingly feel trapped by the past. When we talk trauma, we talk freedom, where we get to break the chains.

EMDR

EMDR can quickly help you get to the root of the trouble and process what's stuck, so you can have relief, clarity, and purpose moving forward.

Existential

Beyond "stress management" and "techniques", we can talk about life and what it means to you. In the fog of war, we can find where you actually are on your map, to intentionally craft your journey from there.

I feel like a human being with Janet, and that there is an inherent permission to be human within my interactions with her. This feeling has been fostered by her since day one and has rippled into every facet of my personal life. I have her to thank for all the difficult changes I have made in my life that have absolutely improved the quality. She has made learning about myself and the process of healing so fun, humor is in every layer with her, which I am so grateful for during heavy topics.

Janet is the best therapist I have had in the decades of seeing a therapist. She listens, shares, is present, clear and thorough in her work. So grateful to find a professional therapist who I look forward to seeing every time!
