Virtual LGBTQIA2s+, Latinx & BIPOC Affirming Therapy and Coaching

Are you struggling to cope with life or feeling dysregulated? Experienced trauma, discrimination or systematic oppression? Feeling miserable, hopeless or stuck? Struggling to connect to others? Feeling like you are not able to tap into your fullest potential? Feeling like you're experiencing burn out?


Janae enjoys helping people heal, discover their strengths, develop skills and live a thriving life vs a survival based one. Janae works to achieve this by providing a culturally sensitive, affirming, safe space where individuals can come as they are. Janae understands the importance of working to establish a trusting relationship within the therapeutic process to increase an individuals ability to take emotional risks to foster healthy change. Janae's approach is empowering and holistic as Janae values the connection between our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social health. Furthermore, Janae believes in individualized and alternative approaches to healing as everyone should be able to individually identify their road to recovery. 


Janae believes all individuals are designed to have the resources necessary to manage life's struggles. Janae empowers individuals to embrace struggle, and overcome future challenges by building resilience in clients. She collaboratively works with each client to process difficult emotions, reduce unwanted habits & develop your skillset to live a happier life, and become your most authentic self. Furthermore, her goals are to foster self-acceptance and love in a world where individuals often find validation outside of themselves. 


Janae specifically acknowledges the harm caused by the medical model and focuses on the whole person rather than a diagnosis or symptom management approach. Janae works to decolonize treatment and explore how systematic oppression can impact those of color and those from the LGBTQIA2s+ communities. Janae also practices an affirming, open-minded sex-positive approach to individual and couples work to explore how everyone chooses to express their sexuality, gender identity and romantic practices. Furthermore, as a therapist herself, Janae has a passion to support other individuals in the mental health field to support burn out and career/professional/personal development as we are often forget to help ourselves the same way we support our clients.
