She is currently completing her Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Calgary, specializing in Clinical Social Work with infants, children, and adolescents. Janelle also holds Canadian Certification in Perinatal Mental Health, reflecting her deep commitment to supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.

Janelle’s approach to counselling is relational, trauma‑informed, and strengths‑based. She believes that emotional distress always makes sense within the context of a person’s life, relationships, and broader systems. At the heart of her work is the therapeutic relationship — creating a space where clients feel understood, respected, and safe enough to explore what they are carrying.

She integrates evidence‑informed approaches including Person‑Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Janelle is committed to ongoing professional development and is actively expanding her clinical skills, particularly in child and youth mental health, family‑based interventions, and play‑based therapeutic techniques.

Her professional experience includes working with families involved in the justice system, supporting individuals with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), and providing services within both child,youth and adult mental health settings. She brings a grounded, compassionate presence to her work and is dedicated to supporting clients through complex emotional experiences, identity transitions, and systemic challenges.
