Getting to know Janette

Considering counseling often brings up a lot of questions. You might be wondering how things got to where they are, or if they’ll ever get better. But your story isn't over. One of Janette’s favorite quotes is, “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.”  

Janette is a firm believer that understanding how you got here is the key to creating the future you desire. She works alongside her clients to build trust and connection, helping them figure out what’s getting in the way of the life they want. Janette especially loves working with women who are healing from past pain or trauma, helping them find their voice and take steps toward the life they envision. She also works with individuals and couples who are feeling stuck because of patterns rooted in their family history. As a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator, she helps couples strengthen their communication and work through challenges together. She has a heart for helping high-conflict couples find clarity, connection, and hope. Seeing clients ages 16 and up, she draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support each person’s unique journey. 

Through working with people in the care ministry at her church, Janette found her passion for counseling and began college mid-life to pursue her dream. She received her Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University Commerce, and continued her studies there, earning a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her education, along with being a National Certified Counselor, gives her clients the assurance that they are working with someone compassionate and well-qualified. 

Style and Approach

Having grown up in a dysfunctional family and experienced the healing power of counseling herself, Janette brings empathy, non-judgment, and hope to her sessions. She understands what it’s like to face painful past experiences and helps clients gently uncover those wounds, identify patterns, and move toward lasting change. Her personal and professional background allows her to connect deeply with clients and walk with them as they work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
