about Janelle.

​​​

Hi, I'm Janelle! I’m a Registered Counselling Therapist (RCT), and I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful therapy. My work is informed by cognitive-behavioural and relational approaches, but I don’t believe therapy should follow a formula. The relationship we build and how we work together matters just as much.

​

I’m friendly, outgoing, and direct. I’m not a “quiet therapist” who just nods along. I ask questions, offer perspective, challenge you when it’s helpful, and I’m not afraid to laugh with you along the way. I want therapy to feel supportive and comfortable, but also honest and practical.

​

For me, therapy is about more than simply fixing the problem that brought you through the door. It’s about understanding yourself, recognizing patterns, building confidence, strengthening your relationships, and developing ways to navigate the hard things life throws at you. Sometimes that means changing what we can, and sometimes it means learning how to live alongside pain without letting it define your life.

​

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions, with particular interests in students and academics, difficult relationship dynamics, postpartum support, and high-stress professions.

​

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me cooking in my kitchen with a good coffee, listening to music (I love the Arkells & Fleetwood Mac), watching Bravo, or cheering on women’s sports. I love the good vibes of a spin class, anything a little whimsical, and probably a fountain Diet Coke somewhere along the way. I’m a bit of a professional dilly dallier, so I’m happiest when there’s nowhere to be and an adventure ahead.
