Hi there, I'm Janet!

You may feel overwhelmed by emotions that don't seem to quiet down - anxiety that keeps you on edge, depression that drains your energy or past experiences that continue to surface unexpectedly.

My focus

You don't have to carry everything alone. Healing takes courage, but you don't need to have all the answers to begin. If you are ready for change - I invite you to reach out and take the first step.

My approach

I use clinical practices like CBT, SFT, and DBT to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we build practical coping skills, challenge patterns that keep you stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented, focused on meaningful change.

My communication style

As a therapist, my communication style is deeply empathetic, active listening, and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

Having grown up in a household with family members with bipolar disorder, I saw some of the suffering these people went through until they received the correct diagnoses and medication. This led me to want to work with others suffering from anxiety, depression, and mood disorders.

My goals for you

Goals are set by using active listening skills, asking open-ended questions, and formulating smart goals with the patient.

Our first session

Our first session will be more about getting to know you and you getting to know me. All new patients are worried the first time and I try to put them at ease by asking questions. The first session will include an assessment to find out what your symptoms are, what is your biggest struggle right now, and what you hope to get out of therapy.
