I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I am extremely grateful for all the ways that Javai has helped me cope with my anxious thoughts and stress in my everyday life. After a year, I have begun to notice improvements and have even become more confident in making changes myself to improve my mental wellbeing. Javai is great at listening, helping reframe, and allowing me to think through life issues. I am very appreciative and would strongly recommend her counseling.

I started working with Javai during one of the most stressful and difficult times in my life. She helped me prioritize what was important and keep a long term outlook without succumbing to the overwhelming stress that I was experiencing. She has been very helpful in reframing how I was viewing my life and also providing tools for me to be more grateful and appreciative for what has been going well.

Javai was an incredible resource. She gave the skills necessary to work through my anxiety. She was never judgemental. She always listened. I feel much more prepared going out in the world knowing I have the skills from Javai than I did before.
