I’m a psychologist specializing in the treatment of OCD, PANS/PANDAS, anxiety, hoarding, panic attacks, and school avoidance.
I use CBT/ERP, an active, results-driven approach that provides significant symptom relief, often more quickly than traditional "talk" therapy. This method is particularly effective for issues like OCD, hoarding, and anxiety. As a specialist, I can resolve long-standing challenges in fewer sessions than a more general treatment approach.

I began work as a therapist in Seattle over 25 years ago, working with families and young children. Today I work with adults ages 35-100! I tend to work from a collaborative mindset, working to facilitate clients to find the solutions that will heal, soothe and sustain them. With a background in research and clinical trials, using Evidence-based treatments is important to me. However, we get to be creative in how we use these tools!

I strive to help clients understand what is beneath the motivation of using harmful behaviors and attempt to help focus on self-compassion with an understanding that health and wellness is achievable. I like to view myself as a teacher of healthy coping skills where clients are able to over time, enact these skills in their own lives to have the confidence to make changes for themselves. Techniques used to help facilitate our sessions may include family therapy, exposure therapy, journaling and use of psycho-educational resources (homework, books, videos, etc).

Hi! My name is Janelle and I began my career working as a mental health counselor in the Seattle area working for a community agency. This provided me with the opportunity to work with a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues. I have found many people have become quite adept at attempting to avoid emotional pain. My goal is to help you isolate these negative patterns and beliefs, and then either change them into positive growth experiences or alter the way they’re perceived. While this may result in immediate relief, lasting relief takes both time and effort.

Hoarding Therapists

What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?

Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?

The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?

Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
