Nice to meet you

Hello there! I’m Janet. I work with individuals navigating mood disorders, family and relationship conflicts such as divorce and domestic violence, occupational distress, and status anxiety. I believe compassion and unconditional acceptance are non-negotiable in therapy, especially when life feels tough. When we meet, you can expect authenticity and empowerment in our work together. I am LGBTQIA+ informed and trauma-informed, and I strive to create a space where you feel supported and understood.
