Meet Janine
Licensed Psychotherapist. Identity Development Specialist. Christian. Cycle Breaker.
The Story Behind “Just Janine”
The Just Janine Therapy & Co. brand is built on a twofold foundation. The word “Just” means behaving according to what is morally right and fair. For me, that meaning is deeply personal. It represents how I strive to live, serve, and show up for the people entrusted to my care.
As a first generation postgraduate, business owner, and cycle breaker within my family, my life experiences have shaped both who I am and how I approach this work. With more than 20 years of experience across behavioral health settings, I have had the privilege of supporting diverse individuals through healing, transition, growth, and rediscovery.
Throughout my career and personal journey, I have learned that healing is not simply about addressing symptoms. It is also about understanding the experiences that shaped you, creating emotional safety, and discovering who you are beyond trauma, expectations, and performance.
My approach is warm, relatable, trauma informed, and rooted in identity development. Clients often experience me as nurturing, integrous, gentle, knowledgeable, and willing to compassionately challenge them when growth requires it.
My Christian faith is an important part of who I am. For clients who desire faith integration, therapy can also create space to explore the powerful question:
Who does God say I am?
At the heart of Just Janine is my belief that you don't have to perform your way into worthiness.
Less performing. Less proving. More becoming.
Identity in Christ > Performance. ✨
Who I Help
Are seeking a safe, nonjudgmental space? Feeling stuck, or perhaps overwhelmed by the stressors of life? Whatever has brought you to this point, we understand that you just want to feel better—less confused, sad, anxious, guilty, or scared.
I work with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, heal patterns that no longer serve them, and develop a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and God. You don't have to wait until everything falls apart to give yourself permission to process what you're carrying. Therapy can provide space to explore identity, relationships, anger, anxiety, grief, pressure, fatherhood, faith, and the expectation to always remain strong.
I am here to support you in making the changes that will lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life. With my extensive, “real-world” experience of navigating struggles such as trauma, identity, anxiety, depression, career transitions, raising a family, marriage, and other life adjustments, I offer a grounded, trauma-informed approach. I will help you move from where you are now to where you want to be.
