More about Janet

I was a nurse first. As I worked in various settings with the goal of helping people recover from illness I realized that those who were motivated by a support team who knew them and helped them do the work of healing were the survivors.
I decided I wanted to go on to learn more about how to help the whole person.
My graduate degree followed by a three year training in Gestalt therapy gave me the tools to provide this deeper level of emotional first aid.
As a fellow traveler along the road of life I know we all have challenges but I also have gained the wisdom to see that we have choices. I guide people to become aware of their life themes with the goal of strengthening their sense of self. Getting a handle on one’s self is very centering and stabilizing. It doesn’t eliminate anxiety or hard times, but it usually changes the perception of catastrophe and the feeling of panic into more manageable perceptions of disappointment and feelings of pain or sadness. I challenge you to risk living fully, to learn and grow from the challenges that life presents. Only then can you experience real joy.
I am honored to be witness to your process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Janet has been an amazing therapist. Her ability to listen and timing of response is remarkable. I feel as if I've known her for years, which helps me feel comfortable to discuss deep issues. I also like that she gives me things to work on for future sessions. I highly recommend her!
Wonderful and very wise
Janet is a credit to her profession and has been an excellent councilor for me.
Janet has helped me grow more than I ever thought I could. She really challenges you to reflect on your habits, but she does it in a gentle and enlightening manner. I always felt her support and always trusted her . Very thankful that I got to work with her.
A delightful and genuine person and one of the better listeners I’ve met. She is Gentle yet precise in the application of her craft and has been very effective in breaking down my bombardment of disjointed information into actionable changes for my life. I am better for having met her.
Janet will listen to you. She will challenge you after listening to you. She is incredibly observant and attentive to detail. Her professionalism and expertise show through from a very early stage. I could not recommend Janet more strongly.
