meet your therapist

I am a marriage and family counselor who does EMDR and individual therapy and am LGBTQ+ affirming and accepting. I have worked in the mental health field since 1986 and started in the substance abuse counseling field in Long Island, New York. I have become a marriage and family therapist because I believe in treating the whole system surrounding the person to increase potential healing.

What CLIENTS Are Saying

Comforting & Courageous

“Working with Janet completely altered the trajectory of my life.

We used a combination of Talk Therapy, Pysch-K and EMDR to illuminate and unwind patterns that I wasn’t aware of. EMDR created a safe space for me to have an internal dialogue - being an introverted/shy person this expedited my healing journey. Pysch-K gave me a platform to integrate positive self beliefs. Having Janet as my guide was deeply comforting. We were able to share laughs, discover uncomfortable truths and instill positive beliefs.

Most importantly, Janet was easy to connect with so I didn’t feel the need to filter myself, hide feelings or perform in any way.”

calm, kind, encouraging

“I have had the great pleasure to work with Janet in different capacities.

She is the MOST wonderful family therapist as I have worked in couple's therapy with Janet for quite some time.

Janet is calm, kind and encouraging and never takes sides but remains neutral and trustworthy. She is helpful to both participants in getting each party heard. If it wasn't for Janet, I am sure my relationship would not have survived without the help and ideas she has given us. At first it was hard but keeping at it has proven to be such an incredible journey that I am so grateful to be on with my partner.”

GENTLE LEADER

“I have been going to Janet for EMDR for quite some time. This has been the most incredible journey for me. My brain just loves the work we do and it has uncovered so many answers to traumas in my life and helped with my healing.

Janet leads you to discover so much about yourself and which has been both painful and beneficial.

I have become so much less reactive and understanding of myself. I don't have to guess and wonder and be confused - the path Janet helps with provides so much insight and healing. I am a changed person with Janet's help. So worth it!!!!”
