My work centers women and queer adults who wish to soften after life has tried to harden them. I specialize in working with folks who are:

• healing painful patterns
• building healthier relationships
• processing grief & loss
• navigating chronic illness/stress
• working through difficult family dynamics
• unmasking
• connecting with their identity
• exploring the impact institutional/personal trauma

I am a queer, gender non-conforming person. I use they/she/he pronouns. I’m Puerto Rican & Italian and I identify as mixed race. That identity affords me a whole lot, while also leaving me feeling quite lost at times. I move through the world in a body that has chronic illness and is dynamically disabled. I think it’s important to take these experiences and translate them into my work when appropriate. I am not affiliated with any religious institution, though I did grow up Catholic. I live by my principles, and am deeply passionate about social justice, food, culture, and sweatpants.

Both in clinical settings and in my personal life, I have been described as principled, observant, quick witted, dedicated, soft, direct, whimsical, rebellious, and genuine.

Hi, I'm Jean, an LCSW-R with over 20 years experience helping adults and couples with anxiety, relationship issues and life changes. I provide a supportive dialogue to foster healing and growth, giving you practical tools for lasting confidence and self actualization.

I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.

I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.

I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.
