Janette became a therapist due to a passion for helping others and understanding human connection. As well as, knowing that representation matters, wanting to be able to help people with cultural similarities find healing.

Janette works best with individuals, families, and couples who are open to the therapy process who want to feel supported in their life.

Im most excited to work with those new to therapy, those who are returning to therapy to focus recent stressors or issues wether that be as an individual or a couple.

Therapy is for everyone, you just have to find the right therapeutic fit.

I chose to work at Thriveworks for its collaborative approach, vast diversity in mental health clinicians and numerous approaches to a multitude of treatment modalities. They encourages continuing education, advancement, and flexibility which allows therapist to deliver great care.

While being a therapist has afforded me a wealth of knowledge my clients inspire and and are always teaching me with their human experiences.

During your first session expect a conversation, using curiosity to get to know know you and what led to the appointment, a goal oriented treatment plan, followed by chance for the clients to provide feedback, ask questions, and schedule a reoccurring appointment to meet goals.

My biggest mission in the first session is getting to know you, understanding symptoms or concerns, providing a diagnosis, and creating your therapeutic goals.

I am approachable and open. I want to meet you where you are. My job is to walk beside you not lead you.

In my spare time I am recharging myself with lots of self care and/or spending time with loved ones trying out new things locally or via travel, or just hanging out for good laughs and great vibes.

One thing that defines is that I'm human too! I am Black and a woman that has the ability to transform strength from struggle and that is both beautiful and empowering.
