(she/her)
Welcome! I am licensed to provide therapy in North Carolina and Florida, with 10+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I enjoy working with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. My approach is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself, feel understood, and learn tools that actually fit your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based strategies, and creative approaches to support each client’s unique needs. Currently, services are offered online through a HIPAA-compliant Telehealth platform.
Our first session is about getting to know you, understanding what’s been going on, and figuring out how I can best support you. We’ll talk about your strengths, challenges, goals, and what you hope to get out of therapy. I know opening up isn’t always easy, especially when you’re meeting someone new. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves.
I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection. My style is supportive, relatable, and sometimes playful. Whether you’re dealing with worries, low mood, difficult experiences, or changes in life, I’m here to help you work through it in a way that feels safe and real.
I enjoy working with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, difficult life experiences, and big transitions. My ideal clients are thoughtful, sensitive, and caring individuals who may feel overwhelmed by their emotions, worry often, or struggle to express what they are going through. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to cope with challenges. I believe every child and teen deserves a space where they feel heard, accepted, and supported while learning skills that help them feel more secure in themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Clients are encouraged to explore the relationship of their thoughts to their feelings and behaviors. “All limits exist in the mind, and it is only in the mind that they can be overcome”. - Alan Cohen
EMDR
I completed EMDR training through EMDRIA in 2022. EMDR works to heal the emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that occur after experiencing a traumatic event.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness is used throughout therapy in combination with other modalities. Mindfulness is about paying attention to the present moment as opposed to the internal and external chaos that can occur on a day to day basis.

Janae is amazing at her job. Our sessions feel like a conversation with a friend. I would recommend her to anyone. She challenges me and my thoughts, in the best way! Book her.
