More about Janaya
- 1 year's experience
- Female
- LCSW
My style is adaptive, trauma-informed, and strength-based. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and groups, including BIPOC, QTBIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, supporting people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and chronic stressors. I use sex- and body-positive frameworks and culturally attuned, affirming, anti-oppressive practices. I bring warmth, light humor, and curiosity into therapy, meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them as they navigate healing, identity, and growth.
