Hi I’m Janae,  I was born and raised in Connecticut and have since relocated to Central Florida. I earned my Bachelors degree at Southern Connecticut State University. I then continued my studies at the University of Bridgeport where I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am Licensed in the State of Florida as well as Connecticut and have experience working with various populations.

 I take a holistic approach to counseling as I believe every person is unique and therefore your process may look different. Some of the techniques and approaches I utilize include CBT and TF-CBT, Solution focused, mindfulness, Motivational interviewing and DBT. My goals are to support you in managing your current stressors, increasing awareness to negative patterns, while bringing out your personal strengths in the process.

I have experience working with survivors of trauma both adult and adolescent, domestic violence, family issues, mood disorders, multicultural issues and life transitions.

When working with clients I make sure to build a good rapport and trusting relationship. I will  provide you with a safe space that allows you to express yourself and share your story without judgement or shame. I am open minded, empathetic and patient. I hope to support you while you continue to heal, learn and grow. I am grateful that you’ve decided to make yourself a priority!
