RESIDENT IN COUNSELING
*Accepting New Clients
Therapist
Hey there! I'm Janelle. I’m a Filipino-American Resident in Counseling passionate about supporting multicultural populations, including Asian American, Neurodivergent, and LGBTQIA+ communities. My work focuses on helping adolescents, teens, and adults navigate Anxiety; Depression; Self-Esteem; Body Image, and their relationship with food.
I am working towards specialization in concerns such as Disordered Eating; Binge Eating; Body Dysmorphia; Chronic Dieting, and Emotional Eating. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and compassion-focused interventions. I aim to help clients build self-acceptance, regulate emotions, and live in alignment with their values.
At the heart of my work is creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and understood. I balance compassion and lightheartedness with intentional healing work, empowering clients to develop skills that foster resilience and inner peace.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy traveling; running half marathons; golfing; playing pickleball; spending time with loved ones, and getting lost in a good book. Reach out if you think we'd be a good fit, and I'm excited to start this journey with you!

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish or how hard you work, it still doesn’t feel like enough and it still feels like you’re falling short?

Do you ever feel like you have to do it all and can’t make mistakes or else something terrible will happen? If any of this resonates with you, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. You might just be experiencing perfectionism.
