Healing begins with understanding, not fixing. Lasting change grows from curiosity, connection, and depth. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful people who have spent years trying to grow, yet find themselves repeating painful patterns or feeling disconnected. Together, we'll explore those patterns, understand how your nervous system learned to adapt, and cultivate resilience, self-compassion, and more fulfilling relationships. Healing involves more than reducing symptoms. It's a process of becoming more connected to yourself, your relationships, and the deeper meaning that can emerge from your experiences.

Hi again! Thanks for considering me to be your therapist. I like to share some things about myself that go beyond me as a therapist because I think commonalities help develop rapport with each-other. So, my name is Jana and I am from very rural southern Ohio. I am a mom who is no stranger to the struggles (and joys!) of parenthood - I like to keep it real in sessions.

They may struggle with emotional regulation, anger, inner-child work, and understanding complex family dynamics. They seek a supportive, structured space to process trauma, build coping skills, and gain insight. Their goals include healthier relationships, improved emotional stability, and greater clarity and connection.

I bring extensive experience in active cognitive-behavioral therapy for individuals and couples, I provide evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety. Care begins with a thorough diagnostic assessment. Accurate diagnosis is often overlooked in mental health care—I prioritize getting it right so treatment is focused, effective, and tailored to you. Executive coaching is more directive, active, and intense. Sessions can be outside the office and no diagnosis is made.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
