About Janet

Contact

I’m dedicated to helping California residents navigate trauma and difficult experiences while fostering meaningful change and self-discovery.

Our journey together begins with you sharing your unique strengths, challenges, and perspectives. We’ll collaboratively set goals to create a healing plan that feels right for you, regularly checking in on your progress and making adjustments as needed. My primary focus is to ensure you feel safe, understood, and truly valued throughout this process.

I hold certifications in EMDR, Perinatal Mental Health, and the Havening Techniques. Additionally, I’m Level 1 trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and am currently pursuing the IFS Institute Certification Track.

Being a lifelong learner is essential to me. I actively seek advanced education, certifications, and professional consultation to provide you with the best care possible. My curiosity keeps me connected to the latest research and best practices, allowing me to support you with insight, compassion, and a genuine commitment to your journey.

As a professional therapist I take on the role of both an empathetic companion and an experienced guide—making sure that people remain safe and on track in their therapeutic journey.

My mindset is inclusivity and acceptance of all:

This means I am deeply honored to engage in therapeutic work with all humans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, culture, veteran status, disability, age, genetics, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, body diversity, and neurodivergence.
