About

me

Janay is a licensed mental ​health professional passionate ​about fostering community ​well-being and workplace ​wellness.


Let’s be honest: we spend most ​of our time in the workplace, ​and what happens at home or ​work follows us to our next ​destination.

Janay entered the social work field out of a ​genuine care for people. Early on, she ​recognized that social work would allow her to ​explore various industries, grow intellectually, ​and discover the best ways to serve others—​without feeling confined to a single area while ​enjoying the work she loves.


In her diverse roles, Janay often became the ​go-to person for clients and coworkers ​seeking ways to balance personal and work-​related stress. It was not until her time as an ​Employee Assistance Program Counselor that ​she realized her true calling: helping ​individuals feel seen, heard, and appreciated ​in the workplace.


She observed the intricate connections ​between mental health, substance use, and ​occupational well-being, which drove her to ​empower individuals to develop healthy ​coping strategies and build confidence—​whether in their current positions or during ​their job search, despite any challenges they ​may face.


Today, Janay is as passionate as ever about ​supporting others, focusing on mental health ​and employee well-being—two inextricably ​linked areas.
