I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's degree from the University of Maryland. For over twenty years, I’ve been in private practice providing mental health services for adults and adolescents.
My team and I are here to help you define your path ahead by gaining insight as to what exactly you’re experiencing, how you got here, and where you want to go.

Hi, I'm Janet.

founder's note
In our practice, we believe the best outcomes are created by treating the whole human, not just the mind and its many narratives.
our approach
Clients come to us with challenges associated with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and relationships or intimacy. It often feels these issues are solely manifestations of the mind, and if we could “fix” the mind, we could “fix” the problems.
Improving lifestyle habits, optimizing nutrition, managing stress, and strengthening connections to self and others are just as important as addressing psychological concerns.
We use evidence-based practices and teach practical tools so you leave feeling deeply content, healthier and better equipped to deal with the stress of our modern world.
We also understand that you may need support in between sessions from time to time. As part of our commitment to continuity of care, we make ourselves available to you for brief check-ins when and if needed.
Holistic therapy sees individuals as whole, complex, multi-faceted humans whose mind, body, and spirit all need tending.
What is Holistic Therapy?

ADHD makes it hard to make decisions, estimate time, and maintain organization. This leads many people to assume they're unintelligent, incapable, or lazy — which couldn’t be further from the truth.
Learning tools and habits like daily mindfulness practices will help you quiet the internal chatter and become more able to focus your attention. With one-on-one therapy, group programs and coaching, we help our clients understand and optimize the ADHD brain.
ADHD

Does it feel impossible to get out of bed some days? Feelings of fatigue, sadness, loss of interest in things that once brought you joy can make life feel flat and sometimes unbearable.
If you don’t know how to acknowledge these painful states, you may feel isolated from the people you love the most. Your life may be full of love, purpose, and success but you feel disconnected from it. Restoring your vitality and lust for life is within reach.
Anxiety

Relationship issues manifest in a multitude of ways. It could be infidelity, lack of communication, or general strain you can’t quite put your finger on. In couples therapy we create a safe container to help you and your partner gain awareness of the defense mechanisms that get in the way of articulating the true feelings at the root of the problem.
Relationships

If you’re feeling a sense of overwhelm and panic, you’re not alone. Our busy lives often don’t give us a moment to sit, breathe, and just be. It’s easy to dismiss these feelings as an unavoidable byproduct of the busy lives we lead in a culture that prioritizes productivity.
But living in a state of chronic stress, fear, and uncertainty doesn’t have to be your baseline. Learning the ways to regulate your inner environment can help you be fully present and engaged.

Healing from past traumas and overcoming the obstacles in the present allows you to move through life with ease and excitement.
In looking at all the systems at play rather than just the psyche, we empower you to step into your highest potential.
To improve mental health, we take all lifestyle factors into account. Optimal nutrition, regular exercise, sleep hygiene, mindfulness practices, and interrelational skills are important supplements to talk therapy.
We help you understand the origin of your discomfort, learn to recognize your patterns, and trust yourself to take meaningful action toward your own self-care.
Our highest goal is to empower you to reorient the way you perceive your challenges, not as failings or evidence of illness, but — eventually — as opportunities. Opportunities to build strength and courage to move through whatever difficulties you may be presented with.
We focus on the psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of each individual in order to resolve conflict at every level and achieve wholeness of self.
our approach to holistic therapy
We believe in a collaborative and comprehensive approach. We meet you where you’re at and work together to identify the obstacles you’re currently facing. By prioritizing your most immediate needs, we’re able to develop a custom treatment plan to help you make progress quickly.
Our Commitment to Continuity of Care
Understanding the symptoms, patterns, and root causes of your presenting issue is important. And so is learning the tools that will help you better manage and reframe them in a way that you no longer feel that they’re running your life.
Some clients are best served by collaborating with additional providers. We have a network of prescribers, nutritionists, and other treatment professionals that we collaborate with in order to address any underlying factors that may be contributing to your discomfort.
When appropriate, we encourage our clients to identify and strengthen their support system. By facilitating therapy sessions with partners, parents, or children, we can help to open lines of communication between you and the key members of your inner circle.
Education is a critical piece to gaining perspective on the dynamics of your current challenges.
