About

We can love our families and still choose to do things differently. And we can love ourselves enough to grow beyond who we had to be to survive.

Jennifer is a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who specializes in working with biracial and bicultural couples and families navigating identity, culture, and intergenerational patterns. As a Latina clinician of Puerto Rican and Mexican descent, she understands how culture and lived experience influence communication, expectations, and emotional expression within relationships. Jennifer helps partners slow down, unpack the deeper narratives beneath conflict, and build connection rooted in empathy and mutual understanding. She is particularly attuned to the unique stressors facing first generation individuals and Latina executives who are experiencing burnout, overworking, and the pressure to constantly prove themselves. Jennifer supports women in redefining success, boundaries, motherhood, and partnership in ways that take clients out of a performative, survival state into one that feels genuinely more authentic. Jennifer earned her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Professional School of Professional Psychology and completed specialized training in Latinx Mental Health, strengthening her culturally responsive and identity-affirming lens. She is currently receiving advanced training in systemic couple and family therapy - an approach that views relationship distress not as a failure of individuals, but as patterns shaped by history, culture, and context. This training allows her to help couples interrupt unhelpful cycles, deepen emotional safety, and create sustainable change that extends beyond the therapy room.
