Jeanette is particularly passionate about supporting those facing PTSD and trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, and cultural concerns. She also works closely with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, offering affirming care that acknowledges the impact of identity and lived experience on mental health. Her therapeutic style blends evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness approaches with a focus on values, empowerment, and holistic healing.

In addition to her broad expertise, Jeanette offers specialized care for adoption and foster care populations, individuals with developmental disabilities, and members of the military and veteran community. She draws from interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), couples counseling, and family therapy, tailoring each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of her patients. She also offers additional interventions to further support healing and growth.

Outside of her professional life, Jeanette is a mindfulness enthusiast who enjoys meditation, yoga, and spending time in nature. She finds renewal in coastal walks, observing marine life, and watching sunsets by the ocean. At home, she treasures time with her cats, which reflects the same gentle presence she brings into her clinical work.

Since beginning her practice in 2011, Jeanette has remained committed to guiding patients toward peace, joy, and authentic living.
