Jeanette draws from an eclectic systems framework while integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Holistic Therapy, Contextual Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, which collectively promote intergenerational healing and reconciliation. She operates from a place of empowerment and change and identifies that we all inherently have the right to change, shift, and/or modify our story. Tennent’s of Contextual Therapy, her work is rooted in the belief of fairness, equality, morality, and balance. Her sessions are client-centered, ensuring that clients feel safe and comfortable before opening up about past experiences. In practice, Jeanette engages in conducting assessments to gauge where the individual, couple or family is and ultimately what they would like to shift to assess what problems are occurring before working with the client(s) to develop a treatment plan that takes into account clients’ needs and goals.

Jeanette strives to help her clients find balance in their relationships, daily interactions, and endeavors. She will work to support you as you begin the journey towards healing and empowerment.

Message to clients

One of the many things that clients often share with me after sessions is how quickly they feel their issues are addressed. In a busy and stressed out world, with demands of careers, relationships, and family, you may need an alternative perspective; someone to focus strictly on you, someone to assist in expanding your views, feelings of hopelessness, or if you are just feeling stuck. In a nonjudgmental space, we will explore together the issues that you feel may be bogging you down and search for solutions for improved functioning.
