Accepting new clients via telehealth! My name is Jordan, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT) who emphasizes authenticity and keeping it real.

Accepting New Clients: Having difficulty finding a therapist of color who understands your experience? I understand your struggle. As an African American male, I too had trouble finding a therapist of my own. Being a person of color in our society comes with its own unique experience, along with the everyday struggles and challenges we all face. It’s difficult and frustrating to have to explain this unique experience to someone before you can even address your reason for being there. But you continue searching because you know you need someone who understands your experience and can help you with life’s struggles.

I view therapy as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. As humans, we have an innate drive toward wellness, and my task is to help facilitate that drive and help clear out the obstacles that are keeping you stuck. I walk alongside you, helping you to reach the outcomes you desire. My desire is to help you uncover the maladaptive coping patterns that have been developed over the years, and learn not to just to cope with your life circumstances, but to come to a place of thriving.

The fact that you are reading this shows that you are taking the first step toward healing. Finding a therapist to walk with you during a difficult time can be challenging and identifying a therapist that “fits right” is just as important as the journey itself. You may be struggling with a big life change, broken relationship, parenting challenges, health problems, anxiety/depression or marital distress among many other issues. You are ready to do the work needed to live a balanced and fulfilling life. It is my honor to hold space with you as you journey toward resolution and restored health.

Psychological wounds can leave us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I enjoy working with individuals who present with issues of self-criticism, low self-image, and women who need to unpack and safely express anger.

I am here to support and guide you through the process of healing, while respecting that you that you are the expert on your life.

I welcome you to a place where we work collaboratively to be in the present moment, fully committed to developing skills to improve symptoms related to life struggles.

Parenting a child with autism or other developmental delays can be challenging. The usual strategies that work with other children often do not work well at all with a child who struggles with sensory processing differences, anxiety or other issues that go along with neurodevelopment conditions. Expert guidance from our autism specialists can help you feel and be more effective as a parent and fully enjoy your relationship with your child. Our behavioral services (ABA) is designed to accelerate your child's development and build lifelong skills for learning and independence.

Are you navigating the complexities of life transitions, grappling with challenges like the uncertainties of adulthood, aging or the ups and downs of teenage years? Are you experiencing shifts in your relationships, thoughts or career? You aren’t alone. Life is full of change which often brings up difficult emotions. Through therapy, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your emotions, build up your strengths, and feel self-empowered. My goal is to guide you as you navigate your evolving life be it parenting stress, relationship changes, career shifts, health trials or other demanding challenges.

I work with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, issues of personal identity (race/gender/sexuality orientation), and life transitions (relational/ academic/professional). Navigating into the depths of who we are reveals we are so much more than what we sense at the surface. Having support on our journey can allow us to develop tolerance for our full range of emotions, gain awareness of what we feel in our bodies, discover new insights into past events, expand our ability to discuss fears, increase empathy for ourselves, experience more meaningful relationships.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges? Struggling in your relationships, dealing with ongoing stress, depression, or anxiety? You're not alone. Life can be incredibly challenging. Taking the step to seek support is tough, and I understand how crucial it is to find the right therapist for you. Our greatest struggles and deepest joys happen in relationships. The quality of our relationships, including those with family, friends, partners, and colleagues, impacts our mental and emotional well-being. Recognizing the complexities inherent in human connections (family, community, society) is central to my therapy practice.

Surviving something traumatic, living with grief and loss, and having low self worth often leave us feeling disconnected, second guessing and unhappy in our life. Maybe you logically believe "I'm enough", "I'm safe", or "I did the best I could" but emotionally, you struggle to believe and feel it. Or maybe, you've tried talk therapy but left feeling like you needed something more. It can be exhausting trying to keep up with all the demands of the day to day while you have your own unprocessed emotions stuffed under the surface. You're not alone in wanting to feel better and you don't have to keep pretending it's no big deal.

You realize something needs to change and have tried all you know. Together we will notice your strengths and build on that with skills that helps meet your needs and accomplish your goals.

No matter what we call it, psychotherapy, counseling, or talk therapy – therapy can benefit people with emotional difficulties and life's challenges. Therapy teaches people skills to address symptoms, and the effects of talk therapy are long-lasting.
