Janelle holds a Master of Social Work degree from The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) as of 2018 and has been dedicated to achieving excellence in her field for seven years and counting. Janelle is committed to uplifting and empowering her clients, providing the tools and resources they need to lead healthier, more productive and meaningful lives, and promotes healing through use of evidence-based modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), focusing on trauma including domestic violence and sexual assault. 

When she’s not at work, Janelle loves family gatherings, her mother's authentic homemade meals, and cheering on her nephew at his football games. Janelle enjoys her morning cafecito and exploring local coffee shops. Karaoke always makes her smile, and she is an aerial artist with the Lyra apparatus.
