About Janet
I am am I licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience in the field. I have primarily specialized in the the area of trauma most specifically domestic and sexual abuse and the concerns that stem from these abuses such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, codependency, divorce/separation, grief, career related issues, economic concerns and self-esteem and parenting difficulties. I am also a certified clinical supervisor and happy to work with other professionals focusing on self-care and compassion fatigue.
My style is warm and compassionate. I start where the client is with a person centered and empowerment approach. I often use psycho-education to help people understand patterns to assist in making lasting changes. I have extensive training in trauma, domestic and sexual abuse. I am newly trained in EMDR (Eye movement Desensitization and reprocessing therapy). I am also trained in the areas of TFCBT (trauma focused behavioral therapy), MI (motivational interviewing).

- “Working with Janet has changed my life. I have never done therapy before and I took it upon myself to join BetterHelp. I was nervous but the second that I got matched with Janet I knew that everything was going to be okay! Janet is helpful in ALLLL aspects of my life regarding my mental health, career choices, and simply just being someone that I can lean on during hard times. The best decision I could I have ever made was joining BetterHelp and I’m so thankful they matched me with fabulous Janet! She is warm, compassionate, kind, and empathetic. She is truly the best!”
- “I have had a lot of success working with Janet.”
- “I just finished my first 4weeks with Janet. She is a great person and easy to talk to. I feel like I am only just getting started. She’s given me key things to focus on in being overwhelmed with my current life situation. Hoping I can afford to keep going!”
- “I came to Janet 6 months after my first breakup, I feel that I had run into a dead end with my healing and did not know how to move forward without this person in my life even though I knew it was not meant to be. Janet listened, engaged, and challenged me to think about things in a different perspective and really think about my emotions and feelings to get to the root of why I was feeling the way I was. Janet made me feel comfortable to open up on conversations that I was not comfortable talking about which I think is huge. Highly recommend Janet for dealing with relationship trauma and guidance.”
- “I’m still getting used to therapy. She has been patient w me and has questions to help me get to where I need to be.”
- “Janet helped me through a unexpectedly scary and tough time in my life. I had never dealt with severe anxiety in the past, and moving due to a job sparked it in ways I didn't know possible. Janet was understanding, caring and supportive from the moment we were matched. She not only taught me different coping mechanisms, she also talked me through the issues that were sparking the anxiety. I felt heard and encouraged. It's bittersweet to end my time with Janet, but I feel much stronger and better equipped to handle any issues that come my way.”
- “Coming in to my first therapy app I was a little nervous as to who I would be placed with and wasn’t sure what to expect. Janet is a wonderful woman who really made me feel validated and educated me on my concerns so that I can effectively work through and avoid them in the future. I truly felt safe with her and she is so kind, I highly recommend her!”
- “She’s great.”
