Janice

Janice is a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience serving individuals and families in crisis. She began her career in 1995 after completing a certification program in Substance Abuse Counseling and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 2001.

Throughout her career, Janice has worked extensively with individuals impacted by substance use disorders—particularly parents involved in the court system due to concerns around the safety and well-being of their children. She has facilitated recovery-focused groups in a women’s prison and led both group and individual counseling for individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), helping them work toward license reinstatement and long-term recovery.

In 2010, Janice earned her Master’s in Social Work, with a minor in Women and Religion and Classical Music. She became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2024. Her clinical background spans emergency medicine, hospice, and end-of-life care, where she has guided families through intense grief, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and resilience.

Janice is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic approach she uses to help clients process trauma in a safe and compassionate manner. Her work is grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that honors the unique stories and healing journeys of each client.

Outside of her professional life, Janice is a proud mother of five and grandmother of six. She enjoys spending time outdoors and restoring old furniture—finding beauty and potential in things others might overlook.
