My name is Janae and I come with a background in crisis intervention, trauma, and behavioral assessment. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of people, from first responders to teens to individuals navigating major life transitions, burnout, or high-stress environments. My experience in both clinical and field-based settings has shaped a practical, grounded approach to therapy that’s focused on understanding patterns, identifying what’s working, and building strategies that last beyond the session. My work is informed by trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a strengths-based perspective. I believe people do the best they can with the tools they have, and therapy is often about expanding that toolkit—finding new ways to manage stress, communicate effectively, and move through difficult experiences with more steadiness and clarity. I aim to create a space that feels calm, direct, and collaborative. Clients often describe me as straightforward and approachable; I don’t use a lot of jargon, and I value real, honest conversation over clinical formalities. Whether we’re working through a crisis, processing complex emotions, or setting boundaries in relationships, my goal is to help you feel more in control of your life and better equipped to handle what comes next. Ultimately, I see therapy as a partnership, one that combines your expertise on your own life with my experience in human behavior and resilience. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening, identify meaningful goals, and work toward lasting change in a way that feels authentic to you.

In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) within a trauma-informed care framework to support clients struggling with depression and anxiety, self-esteem and body image, as well as relationship issues across all areas of their lives including family, friendships, work dynamics, and romantic partnerships. Recognizing the impact of trauma on these patterns, I create a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel validated and understood. My structured approach helps clients develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For self-esteem and body image concerns, I focus on helping clients cultivate self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, while remaining mindful of their trauma history. In addressing relationship issues, I guide clients in developing healthier communication styles, strengthening boundaries, and improving their ability to connect with others in a way that feels safe and sustainable. By integrating these techniques, I empower clients to navigate their emotions more effectively, improve their self-perception, and foster more fulfilling and supportive relationships of all kinds.

Not Your Typical Therapist If you’re looking for a therapist who just nods, takes notes, and speaks in clinical language that doesn’t apply to your real life...I’m probably not the one. If you want a space where you can talk about the REAL stuff- relationships, betrayal, trauma, parenting, stress, identity shifts, rebuilding your life- and get honest insight and practical solutions, you’re in the right place. I’m not a surface-level therapist. I believe therapy should be real, direct, supportive, and actually helpful outside of the session. With over a decade in the mental health field across multiple settings and populations, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding into the room. My approach is grounded, human, and solution-focused. We can go deep, we can be honest, and we can work toward real change. Clients come to me because they want a therapist who feels like a trusted, grounded professional- not someone hiding behind a clipboard. This is a judgment-free space where you can be fully honest about what you’re navigating and who you’re becoming. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up and I’ll meet you there.

For those who struggle with decision-regret and anxiety around making the perfect choice, picking a therapist is three steps into the therapy already - if you're here reading this and that's you, I commend you as your therapy has already begun. Anxious and seemingly uncontrollable thoughts, "imposter syndrome", endless struggles to be perfect, only to be met with guilt and regret; all uncomfortable things that we humans try to avoid and control, yet all of that avoiding and controlling just doesn't seem to do any good. You're here to learn better ways to manage these experiences, and that's where I can help. I leverage 14 years of clinical experience as an adjunct professor in clinical social work and as a therapist in the public and private sectors in Canada, the US and Australia to assist my clients. I am a well traveled surfer, climber, author, entrepenuer, and musician and I enjoy spending time in my backyard that is the central coast of California, exploring all that it has to offer.

Fertility & Reproduction Issues

Infertility is not just a medical experience — it is an emotional one. If you are navigating IVF, IUI, pregnancy loss, delayed motherhood, or difficult family-building decisions, you may be carrying grief that feels invisible to others. The uncertainty, repeated hope and disappointment, financial stress, relationship strain, and identity shifts can feel overwhelming — especially while managing work and daily responsibilities. You do not have to hold this alone. I specialize in supporting women and couples navigating: • IVF and IUI treatment stress • Infertility-related anxiety and depression • Recurrent pregnancy loss • Reproductive trauma • Decision fatigue around continuing or stopping treatment • Third-party reproduction (egg donation, surrogacy) • Oncology-related fertility loss • Grief related to the family you imagined With over 20 years of clinical experience, including oncology social work, I bring a trauma-informed and grief-informed lens to fertility work. I understand how medical systems, bodily autonomy, and uncertainty intersect in deeply personal ways. In Our Work Together You Can Expect: • A space where your grief is acknowledged and validated • Support managing treatment-related anxiety and emotional swings • Tools to regulate your nervous system during high-stress cycles • Help strengthening communication with your partner • Clarity around values-based decision making • Support rebuilding identity beyond fertility struggles Infertility can shake your sense of control, your confidence in your body, and your vision for the future. Therapy offers space to process what has happened, tolerate uncertainty, and move forward with steadiness — whether that means continuing treatment, exploring other paths, or grieving what is ending. I provide telehealth therapy throughout California and offer a collaborative, grounded, and emotionally attuned approach. If you’re ready for support that understands both the psychological and medical complexity of infertility, I welcome you to reach out and connect with me.

I’m a holistic, trauma-informed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges of mental health and substance use. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck—exhausted by cycles of relapse, emotional pain, or instability. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your story, uncover patterns, and develop tools for lasting change. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a deep respect for your unique experiences, empowering you to heal, connect, and create a life aligned with your values.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am passionate about working with individuals in creating generational healing within themselves and their families. I believe any healing starts within ourselves and identifying our own patterns and behaviors. The relationship we have with ourself has the power to transform our lives for the better and also improve relationships with those in our lives. I emphasize both in therapy. I approach therapy with a humanistic, client-centered, holistic and goal-oriented lens, focusing on reconnecting back to the self.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction, life transitions and relationship challenges. I believe therapy is a journey inward—one that honors the mind, heart, and spirit. My goal is to help clients reconnect with their inner strengths and their Best Self: the part of you that is grounded in clarity, resilience, and compassion. At any stage of life, your Best Self remains present—offering wisdom, healing, and the possibility of deep inner peace even in the presence of deep pain or long-standing challenges. I hold a Master of Arts in Spiritual and Counseling Psychology and have trained in grief and loss, community mental health, psychiatric settings, and addiction treatment. In my private practice, I am deeply committed to creating a safe, shame-free, and growth-oriented space that honors each client’s unique healing process. My therapeutic approach is integrative, relational, and grounded in deep caring and lived experience. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful patterns; mindfulness and acceptance-based practices to cultivate present-moment awareness and self-compassion; and humanistic and spiritual perspectives that invite exploration of meaning, authenticity, and purpose. Therapy is a collaborative process. Together we work in a compassionate space to reconnect with your Best Self—honoring a lifetime of experience while cultivating peace, resilience, and self-compassion in all seasons of life.
