Jordan is personally familiar with the unique challenges military families and service members face. While she specializes in this area, she loves working with individuals of any background and age. Jordan gained her foundational experience in community-based organizations providing mental health support to children, adolescents and adults. Some struggles Jordan can help with include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, neurodivergence, and stress management.
Mental health counseling is a process. Jordan meets individuals where they are at, without judgement or expectations. Everyone is trying their best, right? As a resident in counseling, it is important to her that the counselor-client relationship is collaborative. Through this she hopes to foster the empowerment all individuals deserve in a safe, supportive space where they can build up their “tool box” of skills to meet their goals and live their best life.
As a person-centered, trauma-informed counselor, Jordan utilizes a range of interventions from the following approaches: Child-Centered Play Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Expressive Arts Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
