About Jordan
"It's normal to feel scared. Let's start with where you're at and take it step-by-step."
Jordan offers a grounded and compassionate presence in therapy. He helps you feel safe and supported, while gently inviting meaningful challenge when you're ready for it. Through talk therapy, he normalizes and helps process your experiences, validates the pain points, provides practical skills and tools, and empowers you to discover meaningful change.
Jordan has experience providing therapy in community-based settings, supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. His particular focus is couples work: the communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, and negative cycles that leave partners feeling stuck.
Who he works with:
- Couples—communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, family stress, and negative cycles that keep repeating
- Adults—working through anxiety, depression, grief, and loss
- Children and teens—building coping skills and emotional clarity at a manageable pace
Faith Integration
For clients who wish to incorporate their faith into therapy, Christian integration is available. The therapeutic process remains collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your goals, whether or not faith is part of the work together. Always client-led.
What Working Together Feels Like
Jordan strives to bring a calm and thoughtful presence to therapy, offering both warmth and gentle challenge in a balanced way. He helps clients gain clarity on the patterns that keep them stuck, while providing the safety and challenge needed for meaningful change.
Worried your relationship is too far gone, or that a therapist will take sides? The client is your relationship. The focus is on understanding the dynamic between you, not assigning blame.
It's also common for partners to start with different levels of readiness. That's okay. The work begins with creating space to understand those differences and explore shared goals.
What You'll Gain
After the first few sessions, clients often begin to notice:
Training & Approach
- Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling — Tyndale University
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Narrative Therapy & Family Systems Therapy
- Trauma-informed practice
- Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) & Mental Health First Aid (MHFA)
Jordan refers out where specialized care like Cognitive Processing Therapy or EMDR is the better fit. Honest scope is part of good care.
My Approach
Many relationship challenges are rooted in difficulties expressing emotions and needs, and in patterns and beliefs carried forward from family-of-origin experiences. Jordan helps clients see those patterns clearly, then build new ways of responding, both in the room and between sessions.
Your First Session
- → A space where your experiences are met with compassion and curiosity
- → An opportunity to understand what's beneath the challenges you're facing
- → Conversation focused on creating safety, clarity, and meaningful next steps
Between sessions, Jordan may suggest simple, practical, research-informed reflections or exercises designed to support your goals and deepen the work, because meaningful change often unfolds between sessions.
Common Questions
Do I have to be Christian to work with you?
Not at all. Christian faith integration is available upon request, but all clients receive the same therapeutic care: safe, client-led, and supported by evidence-based modalities.
What if one of us is more motivated to attend than the other?
It's common for partners to start with different levels of readiness and interest. We can start by creating a space to understand those differences and explore shared goals.
Will therapy fix our relationship?
Therapy is collaborative. Jordan is there to help guide and support change, but the work happens between partners. Seeking support is a sign of investment and care, not of something being wrong with you.
What does "meaningful change" look like?
It often looks like better self-understanding, more emotional clarity, and having the tools to cope in a more grounded way, with the ability to respond differently to patterns that used to feel stuck or overwhelming.
Therapy seems like a lot. Where do I even start?
It's completely normal to feel that way. We can start at a pace you feel comfortable with and take small steps together.
