She focuses on helping people who are having a hard time with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes.

Janet works with people who struggle with low self-esteem, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She pays special attention to concerns that come with aging and midlife shifts.
How Janet works
Her background also includes supporting people through divorce, separation, domestic violence, and mood-related concerns such as seasonal affective disorder. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most to them. She guides practical coping strategies and small behavior changes that fit daily life.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Janet draws on two and a half decades of clinical experience to tailor each conversation to the person in front of her. She helps people explore forgiveness, guilt, and rebuilding self-worth after loss or difficult transitions.
Communication skills and clearer boundaries are common goals in her work. Clients can expect warm, direct feedback and an emphasis on real-world tools. Janet supports people as they find purpose and regain emotional balance.
Her practice aims to be a calm, steady place to sort through life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with clearer actions and coping strategies, which helps with anxiety, depression, and daily stress. Another emphasizes processing grief and loss in manageable steps so people can move forward without feeling rushed.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk through options with each person and adapt methods based on symptoms, life context, and personal goals. Together the therapist and client decide what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get steady support between longer sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
