I have done therapy in the past and not always had the best experience. Janel has made these sessions by far the best and most productive I’ve experienced. She is knowledgeable and professional. She has helped me to work towards and reach the goals that I set for myself with her guidance.
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Janel!

I provide a safe, supportive space to help you take steps toward a better life. I work virtually with clients throughout the state, offering compassionate guidance as you navigate life's challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in creating meaningful change.

My focus

I work with adults contemplating change in their lives. I want to meet you where you are, even if you're not ready for major shifts. I'm here to help you explore your thoughts without judgment. You know yourself best, and my role is to support your authentic path forward.

My approach

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help manage anxiety and depression. Often, our internal dialogue is the problem. By making that dialogue more accurate and believable, it becomes easier to accept or challenge. This shift in thinking can lead to real relief and lasting change.
