I have known Janine for about four years as a friend, colleague, and mentor. She has all the qualities one might hope for in a therapist; she is caring, creative, and intuitive. As a fellow mental health practitioner, I have learned a tremendous amount from Janine. She is the first person I go to when I feel stuck with clients. She listens deeply and carefully, and then she inevitably has an idea to help me move forward. She has special expertise in somatic experiencing, which is a technique that helps a client use their body to better process trauma. In addition to trauma work, Janine is an expert on exploring body-related issues and insecurities. I feel very fortunate to have Janine in my life. She has both the brains and heart to be an incredibly wonderful clinician and human being.
