Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 18 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, continuing education provider, professor and children's media consultant. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, agoraphobia, postpartum anxiety/OCD, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who just need extra support during a change-of-life moment.
My counseling style is positive and results-driven. I believe in building on a foundation of trust and respect while adding tools to your emotional tool-box. I like to think of my approach as "spiraling up". I will work with you as an individual and not in a one-size-fits-all modality. I often use a combination of cognitive-behavioral interventions, positive psychology, mindfulness and listening in a supportive, non-judgemental manner.
A good fit with a good therapist can be life changing. It can help you live your life in the best version of yourself. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you and look forward to our work ahead!

Jenae is a very down-to-earth counselor who is a great listener and offers great advice. She helps to connect the dots of why you think the way that you do and has helped me realize I am stifling my feelings! I am thankful for my sessions with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing some help.

Jenae is amazing and helps me deal with some intensely difficult issues --- I'm in my fourth month and have gotten to the point where I was comfortable sharing the most difficult things I am trying to deal with -- I have tried therapy before and not been able to get nearly as comfortable as I needed to get in order to start dealing with the actual issues I need to.
She's great. Does an amazing job of making you not feel judged or weird or bad etc... which was my fear going into therapy

Janae has been really great with my agoraphobia. I love how she has a plan and multiple strategies for me. It’s very proactive and I have definitely found some relief since talking to her.
