About Jeanette
Lovely to meet you!
I’ve spent a large portion of my adult life listening to and helping people across various industries identify, understand, and solve problems. When I reflect on my previous career roles (retail manufacturing, software), the part of the job I enjoyed the most was getting to know people on a personal level. I believe that eventually led me to the counseling field.
While the journey to becoming a therapist was not self-evident from the start of my career, I’ve always had a deep curiosity and appreciation for each person’s unique life experience. In my own journey of therapy and coming to understand myself, I came to realize how events and relationships from my past impacted me as an adult. It is a privilege to do this work, and I look forward to supporting you on your own journey towards healing.
