About me

I am a Licensed master Social Worker who has been in private practice for 5 + years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients from children to seniors. I work in my office and virtually. I use many different techniques and modes of therapy. client centered, DBT, Mindfulness, CBT, TFBCT just to name a few. I use motivational interviewing and listening during my sessions. I believe that each person has the ability to heal themselves with a little help and encouragement.
I believe in treating others as I would want them to treat me. I do not believe in yelling or belittling individuals nor do I expect everyone to be the same. I work with Gender Dysphoria and have much enjoyed seeing these clients improve their lives with the support and encouragement of myself and others. I do not believe everyone fits in to a one size fits all category so everyone will have their own plan of action and support.
I look forward to working with everyone who would like to work with me. I will be here to help guide you but I will not tell you how to do it this is your journey and you will have to do some work while healing and making your life what you want it to be.
I have been working with clients that have been diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria for 3+ years. I believe that everyone is made as an individual and that you cannot force changes that do not work for them. Each individual is unique and special and I like to help them find their way to discovering that special uniqueness. I will never look down at anyone coming to me for help nor will I judge anyone for who they are.

Janet is very relatable and kind. She's not a typical therapist but she helps guide me, which is what I needed.
