What You Can Expect From Janaina
Knowing how difficult it can be to share your most vulnerable experiences with someone new,
Janaina works intentionally to create a space where you feel:
- Seen and heard throughout your work together
- Respected
- Safe to be yourself
She does not consider herself an expert on your life and will always centre your self-knowledge. Your life and experiences are uniquely yours. Her role is to walk alongside you in your therapeutic journey. It is an honour to be a part of that journey, and she looks forward to learning about you and from you throughout your sessions.

With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, Janaina understands what it’s like to work in unpredictable, high-stress environments — and how easy it can be to lose sight of one’s self in the process.
She works with first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals navigating perinatal & postpartum mental health. Using a compassionate approach (and a sprinkle of dark humor) she supports her clients in finding balance, perspective, and some calm amidst the storm.
