Counseling with Janette
In today’s world, finding balance and living a fulfilled life can feel more challenging than ever. We not only face daily life stressors but also deal with deeper issues such as addiction, trauma, and mental health struggles that can prevent us from reaching our full potential. These challenges affect our ability to thrive, leaving many of us stuck in a survival mode, searching for purpose and peace. I offer a safe, compassionate, and empathetic environment where you will feel supported and empowered to work through your challenges. My goal is to help you move beyond survival and into a life of fulfillment.
How it works
Discover new ways to elevate the quality of your work and life.
I specialize in Trauma-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My style is grounded in empowerment. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and improve their well-being. I will work alongside you to provide those tools, ensuring that you feel confident and supported on your journey to personal growth.
With 19 years of military service, I understand the challenges faced by service members and veterans. I can assist with emotional recovery, civilian adjustment, and mental health concerns. As a bilingual counselor with a Spanish background, I recognize the cultural struggles and use this insight to offer culturally sensitive support and solutions.
