Hi, I'm Janeah. I'm a first generation Filipina American therapist, and I'm genuinely glad you're here.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. Anxiety and depression are what bring a lot of people to me, which makes sense given what young people are navigating right now. I also work with trauma, identity exploration, self esteem, and the particular pressures that come with growing up in an immigrant family or a community that doesn't always feel like it was built for you.

My approach is flexible and meets people where they are. I use CBT, Narrative Therapy, art therapy, and play therapy, because I genuinely believe there are more ways to heal than just talking. Sometimes drawing something, or playing a game, opens a door that words couldn't. For younger clients especially, creative approaches are often where the real work happens.

Being raised by immigrants is a big part of who I am, and it shapes how deeply I care about working with people from diverse backgrounds. I believe in cultural humility. I believe in giving people tools and language to understand what they've been through. And I believe that therapy can help people find a voice they didn't know they had.

Before joining this practice, I worked in hospital and community mental health settings. I have a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest University and a bachelor's from the University of Washington.

Outside of sessions I love doing puzzles, baking things with varying success, going to concerts, and getting outside for hikes. I'd love to work with you.
