Welcome! My name is Janine and I’m a fully clinically licensed social worker and therapist dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion and expertise. With a passion for supporting individuals across the lifespan, I utilize a range of evidence-based techniques including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Mindfulness practices.
My approach is relationally focused, meaning I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship to foster healing and growth. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety (including OCD), depression, relationship or work-related stressors, or navigating significant life transitions, I am here to support you. I have a special interest in women’s health and am committed to providing a safe and nurturing space for women to explore their unique experiences and challenges. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to helping you find balance, resilience, and fulfillment. I believe in the inherent strength of each individual and am here to help you tap into that strength.
I also have experience working with children and parents through play therapy. This approach allows me to connect with younger clients in a way that feels natural and supportive.
Outside of the therapy room, you might find me baking a new recipe, riding my bake on the lakefront path, or exploring the city, always seeking ways to bring balance and joy into life.
I look forward to the opportunity to work together and support you on your journey to well-being.

Nearly five years into clinical work I continue to grow and become more passionate about the work I do with people. My clinical expertise includes assisting people with navigating cultural and systemic oppression, exploring their racial identity, exploration of gender identity, and LGBTQ issues. I also specialize in addressing a myriad of anxieties, often socio-economic anxiety, as well as general anxiety.
My work recognizes the impact society and systems have on our mental health and I am dedicated to supporting people to better understand those impacts and explore ways to navigate spaces by utilizing their support systems and other resources available to them. It is important to me for people to be fully autonomous people who can advocate for themselves within systems that may not be made for them through the work of liberation.
That work also shows up when I work with individuals who are experiencing depression, working through life transitions, self-esteem troubles, and couples work. Utilizing many behavioral modalities to help individuals navigate relationships and foster healthy connections, communication, and boundaries.
In my role as a therapist, I acknowledge the impossible task of separating my other identities within my work. I show up carrying with me my own story and because of it, I am aware of the work needing to be done to ensure comfortability, safety, and vulnerability for the people I work with. I bring a sense of vulnerability and passion in my work with people that I hope allows them to connect more with themselves and feel empowered.
Every individual has their own story and unique challenges and I tailor the work that we do around their stories. I am thankful to be a part of their journey to empowerment and I do my best to tailor the therapeutic goals to their needs based on their stories.
In addition to direct therapeutic work with participants, I provide clinical supervision and Continuing Education (CE) training for mental health professionals in the field. I also lead monthly DEIB trainings/discussions within AMK.

Seeking support can feel unfamiliar and intimidating. I believe we are innately resilient. Our resilience can help us but can also build our tolerance and restrict our ability to ask for help. Beginning therapy is the first step. My practice is collaborative allowing you to control the pace and process with my guidance and support. It is my goal to ensure you feel comfortable including providing a safe, empathetic space for us to build a trusting relationship. In my practice I provide “homework” as a way for us to use what we talk about in session for practice in your everyday life.
I use a warm, nonjudgemental approach. I work with children, teens, adults, and families. We will work together to help you cope and grow and build on your strengths. I am passionate to see how the tools we use build on your emotional awareness and connection to your mind and body. My background includes providing therapeutic services in communities, hospitals and schools. My experience includes supporting clients who are managing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, mood disorders, trauma-and-stressor-related disorders, ADHD, life transitions, paranoia, self-esteem or body image concerns, behavioral issues, self-harm, or relational concerns.
