My name is Peter, and for the past five years I have worked in mental health crisis services, supporting people through some of the hardest days of their lives. I strive to offer understanding, compassion, and a safe space where you feel truly heard. Whatever you are facing, I am committed to helping you move forward and take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more hopeful future.
I work with neurodivergent women, especially moms, who have trouble turning off their brain and connecting to their feelings. Many of my clients are people pleasing, perfectionistic, and struggle with their relationships with others. As someone with 10 years experience studying and practicing in the mental health space, I can tell you that having a sense of belonging and connectedness is the single greatest predictor of mental wellbeing.
Genuine belonging and connection to self or others may be difficult because you're carrying guilt, shame, self-blame, or the pressure to hold everything together. You may look “fine” from the outside while privately feeling overstimulated, burned out, or feeling a lack of purpose or direction.
Therapy can be a place to stop performing, slow down, and connect to yourself, so you can show up in connection and belonging with others in a genuine way.
Hi, I’m J’nayle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore life’s challenges. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, burnout, grief, and major life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and focused on helping clients build healthier coping skills, emotional insight, and stronger relationships with themselves and others.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. My clinical training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and Problematic Sexual Behavior- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents (PSB-CBT-A). Whether you are seeking support for past experiences, current stressors, or personal growth, I am committed to helping you feel empowered and understood throughout the therapeutic process.
