Janet really helped me understand myself better and created a space where I felt comfortable being completely honest without feeling judged or criticized. What I appreciated most was that she didn’t just listen and empathize with me—she also challenged me when I needed it. She helped me recognize ways that I was contributing to some of the situations that ultimately led me to reach out for therapy in the first place. I always felt supported, but I also felt like I was being pushed to grow and look at things from a different perspective. I’m really grateful for the time I worked with her and the impact she had on me.

Janet was a tremendous help to me dealing with my divorce. I had never had therapy before and I was hesitant, but Janet made me immediately comfortable and gave me the perspective and tools I needed to handle the challenges I was facing.

My sessions with Janet have been immensely helpful. She has offered a perspective that doesn’t come naturally to me- one of grace and curiosity.

I so appreciate the weekly sessions over the last 9 months. Thank you Janet.
