About Janelle
As a trauma-informed therapist, I am mindful of the impact past wounds may have on your present life. I work carefully to ensure that our sessions honor your pace, and I offer a client-centered approach, meaning I’ll meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're seeking to process difficult emotions, find clarity in life’s challenges, or develop new coping strategies, I am here to support you every step of the way.
I believe that healing is not just about addressing challenges—it's about discovering your inner strength and wisdom. Together, we will work to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected to your inner strength. Using an eclectic blend of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based techniques, we’ll discover what feels most healing and helpful for you.
My greatest hope is that you leave each session feeling more seen, understood, and capable of navigating your life with confidence and resilience. Your story matters, and I am deeply committed to helping you grow, heal, and thrive.
I’m looking forward to getting to know you and supporting you on this journey.
