Hello, I’m Janette. I work with people healing trauma, moving through grief and life transitions, and learning to live in harmony with their inner truth. I offer resiliency-informed, integrative care in a relational, body-centered space that is culturally affirming and honors your identity, values, lived experiences, ancestry, and strengths. My approach acknowledges not only your pain, but also the strength, creativity, and ancestral wisdom carried in your body. I provide therapy in English and Spanish for individuals and families seeking grounded healing and meaningful change.
I weave together Somatic Experiencing, attachment-based work, mindfulness, creative expression, narrative therapy, and cognitive tools. Guided by the body’s wisdom, I offer integrative care that honors your lived experience. Together we explore mind-body patterns that expand your capacity for regulation, connection, growth, and cultivating embodied presence.
Taking the step to seek a therapist takes courage, time, and commitment. I invite you to reach out when you feel ready to begin this process of healing, self-discovery, and creating a life that feels balanced, authentic, and aligned with your values. Let’s schedule a call to explore whether this feels like the right therapeutic match for you.

I work with clients that may be navigating trauma, anxiety, or stress-especially as it shows up in the body and in relationships. We will explore nervous system patterns that may keep you stuck and collaborate on a plan using somatic tools, mindfulness, and strength based strategies. The goal is to build resilience, emotional balance, and deeper connection.

I primarily use Somatic Experiencing (SE) and a culturally affirming, inclusive approach. In our first sessions, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and create a space that supports comfort and stability as we notice how your nervous system responds to stress and connection. Together, we honor your identity, strengths, and story as we support healing, resiliency, and embodied empowerment.
