About Janet
With 27 years of experience, she draws on long-term practice to offer steady, practical help. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps clients can use between meetings. Conversations center on what matters most to the person in front of her, not on someone else’s agenda.
Janet adapts language and pace so clients can follow along easily. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps identify alternatives that feel doable. Her style balances direct feedback with warmth so clients know where they stand and what to try next.
People come to her for help navigating major life changes, coping with loss, or managing overwhelming stress. She also works with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, blended-family roles, aging and caregiver strain, chronic illness, and fertility or cancer-related concerns.
Janet explains options plainly and collaborates on a plan that fits daily life. She encourages clients to treat therapy like a series of experiments: try something, notice what changes, and adjust. That practical loop guides most of her work.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make attending sessions easier by removing travel time, fitting into a work break, or allowing a quieter setup at home or another location. It also supports continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help therapy fit more naturally into everyday life.
