Bio

Born and raised in Florida, Janine has spent the last ten years in the Pacific Northwest before returning to Orlando to begin her clinical work with clients. She earned her bachelor’s degree in English from Florida Atlantic University, her master’s in Communication from UCF, and is currently completing a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University with a certificate in Trans-Affirmative Therapy. Her coursework has included studies in child and adolescent counseling, group and individual counseling, couple and family counseling, sexuality and gender identity development, crisis work, addiction, college and career counseling, and creative counseling approaches such as art therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and nature-based therapy.

Janine approaches counseling through an individual and holistic lens, using practices tailored to each client’s unique life experiences and cultural identities. Her goal is to create a warm and non-judgmental safe space where everyone can be their true authentic selves, leading with compassion, empathy, curiosity, and humor. Janine believes every person is the expert on their own life, and affirms and honors those unique experiences while working with clients to identify strengths, set goals, and overcome hurdles on their journey towards wellness, whatever that looks like to them. She is a fierce ally and advocate for populations who have been marginalized, and works to dismantle systems of oppression within the therapy room. 

In her free time, Janine likes to spend time outside with her husband and animals, cook and eat vegan food, roller skate, tend to her plants, read something from her never-ending list, and casually discuss the meaning of life with friends over coffee.
