Janna works primarily with adult individuals. She provides both in-person sessions and virtual sessions.
Janna’s practice is primarily oriented around what are known as experiential therapies. This means Janna works hard to not simply talk about what’s bothering you, but to direct you into healing experiences with parts that keep pain stuck. These experiences build skills and inner resources so that you feel better equipped to attend to pain in daily life rather than suppressing it. Time and time again, Janna has seen the healing power of gently facilitating encounters with pain. As the adage goes, we have to feel it to heal it. Through safely encountering pain stuck inside, your nervous system learns that pain can be tolerated, and therefore feels more equipped to attend to it rather than pushing it away, which tends to keep it stuck.

Janna uses an assortment of evidence-based approaches in her practice. These include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and somatic approaches.

Inhale… release tension in your shoulders and neck. Exhale… allow your body to relax. Welcome! It can be exhausting to navigate life’s challenges alone. If you’re grappling with undesired behavioral patterns, overwhelming emotions, stress and anxiety in your daily life, or family of origin issues, I’m here to help. I offer safe and supportive space in which to explore feelings and emotions. Together, we can connect you with your innate drive to grow, and work on healing deep wounds so you can discover new ways to connect and thrive. You deserve to feel understood and whole again. Let’s take this journey together.

As an experiential therapist, I guide you beyond simply discussing your problems with you. Instead, I gently help you encounter and process underlying pain that keeps the problems stuck. Together, we’ll create a nurturing environment for you to work through feelings that have been locked away. This allows you to connect with your true self and promotes lasting change.

Attending to emotion is crucial for deep healing. My deepest desire is to help you accept and care for emotion that is stuck inside. When held gently and felt to completion, stuck pain transforms into renewed energy and personal growth. You’re not alone in this; let’s journey from pain to transformation together. Interested?
