Hello, I’m Jaana and so glad you’ve taken this step even if it’s just to “get a feel” for the process. You may be somewhat nervous about seeking some help and for some, especially through tele-behavioral-health.
I am originally from Mobile, Al but have lived in the Birmingham area for many years. I have a wealth of experience in helping others with a professional work history of 20+ years. This includes (but is not limited to) working with clients experiencing what seems to be overwhelming stress and are probably experiencing a great deal of anxiety and/or depression as well. I enjoy helping folks with trauma issues (which is a BIG deal!)…as well as with those suffering with loss and grief.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I am genuine in my efforts to help folks dealing with heavy issues especially in the world today. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Additional areas of focus: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-Harm
