"I firmly believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life. My role is to step in as a supportive partner—providing you with the education, feedback, and practical tools you need to build a higher quality of life through self-discovery."
When you are walking through difficult emotional seasons, it is easy to feel disconnected from yourself. Janet provides an open, warm, and zero-judgment space where you can explore your thoughts safely. She blends compassionate human connection with an active, educational approach, helping you understand why you feel the way you do so you can finally move forward.
Janet welcomes adults and adolescents (ages 16 and up) into her practice. She brings highly specialized, diverse experience to the Mindful Connections team, with deep expertise in helping clients navigate anxiety and panic, depression, body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.
A Brain-Based Approach to Compassion: With a strong professional background in neurofeedback, Janet teaches you the actual science behind how your brain works. Understanding your biological nervous system makes it much easier to drop the self-blame and practice deep self-compassion.
Actionable Tools: Her core approach blends Person-Centered therapy with practical concepts from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Mindfulness. This ensures you leave sessions with real-world skills to shift painful thought patterns and find daily calm.
Experiential Healing: Janet has unique experience utilizing creative and experiential counseling techniques, including Equine-Assisted Therapy, to help clients heal in ways that traditional talk therapy alone sometimes cannot reach. Although she is unable to utilize this specific treatment at Mindful Connections, she continues to employ other unique approaches while integrating supplemental treatments into her specific care plans.
