Hello, I'm Janel. I have had the privilege of working in various settings, including crisis intervention, emergency rooms, and home- and school-based care.

I have also supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My counseling style is warm, friendly, open, and collaborative. I believe in creating a therapeutic space that is safe and welcoming, allowing you to work through emotional concerns and develop the skills needed to achieve your goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Depending on your needs, I will meet you where you are to develop a personalized treatment plan that suits you.

A typical session would be us unpacking, identify and clarify barriers that are preventing the client from being the leader in their own life.
