Janet LeMoal(She/Her/Hers)

For Queer people, people of color and women it is scary times. Are you angry or overwhelmed by the push to roll back our human rights? All of this is stressful and can add to negative self talk, depression, anxiety and over use of substances. I won't dismiss your worries. I can do difficult conversations.

I believes in person-centered therapy. I have a diverse, eclectic and sometimes irreverent approach to therapy and believe therapy is a collaborative endeavor.
