About Janay

I first wish to express my appreciation to you for the opportunity to walk alongside your journey with healing and self-discovery. I am grateful for the gift of trust that you share in the reciprocal learning process. With a strengths-based approach and trauma-informed lens, my focus is to develop strong therapeutic alliances with those in my care. With your courage and efforts entering into the therapuetic alliance, we can achieve the goals you set forward in therapy and find your optimal place of functioning. As a clinical counsellor, I am grateful to reflect on my social work lens from the last 5 years working in the traditional and unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation communities. I have over 12 years of experience working with children, youth, and young adults through therapeutic treatment programs and within various diverse communities and collaborative settings. A key consideration through my experiences is the value of integration of the family system and the importance of community connection. In my work with young people I value the critical importance of identity and belonging; key factors in the development of children, youth, and young adults. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you in your healing journey. Through the exchange of learning, healing, and self-discovery, my hope is that you will experience a respectful and authentic presence, with a person-centered, strengths-based approach. Using a holistic and balanced approach, it is my belief that you are in the driver’s seat and are the expert of your story. Each time we meet, it is my aim to ensure you leave with something new and beneficial. The use of a trauma-informed lens, EMDR tools, and culturally responsive practices are fundamental values throughout my practice. Openness, respect, and collaboration are values I will bring to our work together.
