Hi there, I'm Janel!
My pronouns are she/her/hers. My approach to therapy is an eclectic one in which I utilize many different modalities to design an appropriate and effective process for my client. I primarily focus on mood disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, and Bipolar as well as trauma-related such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
My focus
I typically work with youth ages 13-17 and adults 18+. I have worked with many LGBTQ+ clients, including Trans clients in transition, as well as Poly and Ace.
My approach
My approach is Client-Centered, Strengths-Based, and Humanistic. I utilize aspects of many varied modalities such as CBT, Interpersonal, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, and Mindfulness, and use tools such as Relaxation Techniques and Behavioral Activation.
