Hi, I'm Ja'Nera and I have 10 years of experience in the clinical setting. My approach to therapy is quite simple: it's understanding, safe and trauma-focused. My clients always report that I give them a weird sense of safety that fosters room for resolving trauma and managing symptoms.
Hello! I have spent 4 years working in a clinical setting with all types of clients, specializing in mood disorders, PTSD, and individuals who have auditory and visual hallucinations. I try to demystify mental health and the stigmas surrounding it.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe therapy is a space to find meaning, heal, and reconnect with yourself. My work is grounded in an existential approach, and I help clients navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness, purpose, and growth. Since 2022, I’ve worked as a school counselor and PLPC, supporting children, teens, and adults with anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns using CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy.
