Hello,
I'm Jean and I provide counseling and psychotherapy to residents in Maryland and Delaware. My clients often work with me to understand their relationships, navigate loss, or to find solutions to manage the stress of daily life. The reasons, just like life, are complex and challenging to talk about. As humans, we often want to live out our values, feel connection and work towards fulfillment, but sometimes life's pace doesn't give us the chance to sit with ourselves. My clients have spent much of their lives in survival mode. They worked hard to stay afloat in a world that didn’t consider their needs by adapting, performing and protecting themselves. They reached out feeling exhausted, misunderstood, anxious or stuck. They reached out even if they felt uncertain because they wanted meaningful change.
Beginning or continuing your journey with a therapist can provide the space you may not have had before to discover who you are and where you want to go. It's important to work with a therapist who both has professional experience with your concerns and that you personally feel is the right fit for you. My clinical experiences and training include working with clients who have experienced grief, neglect, trauma and personal challenges related to their identity. Many describe my approach to working with clients as calm, collaborative and creative. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out to me to ask about your options. If I’m not the right fit for your goals, I can provide recommendations for other trusted clinicians.
