About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with 7 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I’ve worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, parenting issues, career challenges, OCD, and Bipolar disorder. I've also worked with people who have experienced physical trauma and//or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and dialectical- behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Janet is absolutely amazing. She takes the time to listen and to actually hear you. I find her to be both intuitive and concrete in her recommendations and responses.

Janet was extremely helpful in easing my anxiety and the stress I experienced while parenting a teen. She is a great listener and had many practical suggestions and helpful strategies for me to try. Each time we met, Janet was prepared to follow up on what we had previously discussed. Our sessions helped me gain a new perspective. I highly recommend Janet as an effective therapist.
