In addition, I have experience counseling individuals with Bi-Polar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder I have established stages for moving forward after major life changes that have proven to be successful. I believe that trust and the development of a working relationship with you is the first step in the therapy process. The therapy session will be at your pace. I utilize a variety of approaches including CBT, DBT, Narrative and Solution Focused Therapy. I look forward to working with you. Beginning the therapy process can be a leap of faith and feel scary at times. I hope with support I can make this journey a positive one.

I've been seeing Jeanette for 1 1/2 years now and wouldn't be who I am now or where I am now if it weren't for her experience and support. I am finally on a track to reach internal goals that I couldn't even imagine before. I am so thankful for teencounseling.com and Jeanette for helping me understand myself. Eternally grateful.
