Hi! I’m Jordan and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) because I believe our mental health affects everything we do. There are lots of different ways to do therapy, but I will always make sure that you have both a non-judgmental space to share, and that you walk away with practical skills to help you deal with life’s challenges. My goal is to help you feel heard and leave empowered. I utilize an attachment framework to focus on processing key relationships in your life, while offering DBT skills and other practical tools to help regulate your emotions so that you can respond well in any situation. I live in San Diego and love working with adult clients of all different backgrounds and experiences.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In my first session I will connect with a client and help them identify their goals for care. I will them understand what the therapeutic process is like, as well as ask them a variety of more general questions about themselves and their relationships. In order to provide clients with the best care possible, I find it is important to discuss a client's mental, relational, and sometimes physical health history, and I will do the bulk of this work in the first session.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I can connect with virtually any client, and I have worked in a huge variety of settings to be able to demonstrate this. Whether they are veterans in residential, 18 year old's learning to be adults, or 75+ years old dealing with anger management concerns, I can connect with a multitude of life experiences in a way that is client centered. I also help clients come back to the goals that they set in therapy in order to help them see real change, as opposed to simply talking in session and seeing no actual progress in their lives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with all sorts of clients, but tend to connect especially well with younger adults who may have difficulty identifying their emotions, but are noticing their behaviors are leading to issues in their lives. Whether they may be on the Autism spectrum or have simply never really learned to deal with their emotions, I excel at teaching clients how to recognize and deal with a variety of emotional experiences in order to help change their problematic behaviors. I enjoy working with both men and women, and prefer clients that are motivated for their own self-care.
