Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Janel, a licensed therapist with a passion for creating safe, supportive space for healing and growth. I work with individuals navigating a range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I have specialized experience working with survivors of sexual violence and partner violence, as well as first responders who face unique emotional demands. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered. I use evidence-based practices such as EMDR, TF-CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy. In our work together I'll meet you where you are, with empathy and respect, so you can move toward feeling more grounded, connected, and in control of your story. I offer virtual sessions with flexible evening and weekend availability to help make therapy accessible and sustainable for your schedule. If you're ready to take the next step toward healing, I'm here to walk alongside you.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy is a collaborative process; something we will do together. In therapy you should feel seen, heard, and supported. My approach is to lead with safety, trust, and empowerment. I draw from different modalities and also incorporate other tools, all tailored to your needs and strengths. Whether you're navigating past trauma, managing current stressors, or working through life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you with empathy and honesty.

What you can expect from me

You can expect to leave our session feeling heard, supported, and empowered. I want to create a warm and safe space where you can be yourself and explore what's weighing on you. I work with you to build insight, strengthen emotional resilience, and recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Whether you're processing trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or navigating challenges, you and I will walk together towards your vision of healing and growth.
