Therapy is a collaboration. You are the authority on your own experience and your own goals, and I strive to honor that truth. I want to know what you want to work on, and help you get there with compassion. It takes courage to set on a path of healing and growth and I offer space to move towards your chosen goals at your own pace. You are a unique person; I individualize treatment to your values and intentions over preconceived ideas of what "healthy" means. I have 8+ years of experience with populations facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual assault, eating disorders, body image, and addiction.

Are you struggling with obsessive food thoughts, unbreakable food behaviors or body hate? Has an eating disorder or food struggle stolen your brain space, relationships, confidence and ability to function? I know how this feels. You are left physically exhausted, stuck in your self-loathing thoughts and defeated. I spent the last 10+ years specializing in working with eating disorders and supporting/educating family members because I believe no one should have to feel this way. Whether this is your first stop or you've been in treatment, I am glad you are here. One thing I know for sure, we are not meant to do this alone.

Trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, harmful patterns & addictions, ADHD, dissociation, and first generation issues & empowerment are major themes in many clients' work.
I believe we all possess what we need for wholeness, yet through a lot of self-help in the zeitgeist right now we’re asked to move the ground of our own being and follow formulas instead of trust the process & our intuition. Through our therapeutic relationship you bring your healing aptitude forward, and we establish a safe space where wounds, old stories, traumas, and any ways life has tamed you can be tended. The process of rewilding your soul and spirit and stepping into a new state of consciousness can be challenging and present with some pain and discomfort. I meet you lovingly, with an empowering & heart-centered approach.

We’ll work with the issues that you present—depression, intimacy, infidelity, eating disorders, addiction.
We all face conflicts that at times become “too much.” When we feel overwhelmed there’s a natural tendency to want to restore balance in ourselves and our lives. Any conflict—in love, work, body image, physical symptoms—can lead to anxiety, shame and a sense of "going through the motions." Whether you’re dealing with current or long-standing difficulties, there are effective ways to understand and soften painful feelings. Life can be better when you open to new thinking, curb negativity and break repetitive cycles; you become kinder to yourself. You can find your own voice.

I completed additional training at UCLA where I worked primarily with adolescents and adults and specialized in the treatment of eating disorders.
Providing optimal care requires the capacity for humble self-reflection, the willingness to shift gears when needed, and the creativity to approach problems in unexpected ways. One of my primary goals as a therapist is to constantly question and re-evaluate my own perceptions, intuition, and clinical judgment. I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with eating disorders, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety disorders. Broadly trained in dialectical behavioral, cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic treatments models, as well as specific empirically supported interventions, I strive to address each individual's needs with the appropriate clinical approach.

As a clinical supervisor, our practice can handle a wide range from addiction to eating disorders.
Many of us recognize our lives lack fulfillment. We long for love, belonging and feelings of success. We crave peace of mind. Trauma and negative schemas often make achieving our goals difficult and we find ourselves right back where we started, as if in a loop. More than ever, we need someone to hear us. Luckily, Mental Health awareness has increased and you are in the right place to find help. My group practice includes myself and two other fantastic therapists, Ryan Muldoon AMFT and Gabrielle Amoils Pollak LMFT

I am EMDR trained and use it as a tool with my existing clients and as well as see clients who primarily seek EMDR sessions to move stuck experiences and core beliefs. To me, the importance of therapy is to get your life back into balance as addiction and trauma can create an "all or nothing" element and a repetition of patters and maladaptive behaviors.

My passion lies in working with those struggling with eating disorders, complex PTSD and attachment trauma.
Hi! I'm Jordan. I believe that secure attachment provides the foundation for being able to have meaningful relationships - ones that promote intimacy, trust, and safety. Every relationship we have early on in life can either leave us with a sense of safety and belonging, or a sense of rejection and disconnection. These imprints ultimately shape how we navigate through the world, which can lead to a deeply fulfilling life, or one of detachment and disconnection. My practice is focused on helping individuals deepen their connection to themselves in order to create their desired life.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a deeper self awareness! I work with my clients to help them understand how personal challenges like anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma may be influencing their relationships, work, or daily life. My style is interactive, engaged, and non-judgmental while integrating the psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual well being of the whole person. I also feel that it is important to incorporate laughter into the healing process! Once we can find the humor in our human-ness it becomes easier to forgive ourselves and others as we move toward more authentic happiness.

Thank you for reviewing my profile. I work with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, and relational difficulties. I specialize in working with conditions associated with anxiety such as generalized anxiety (GAD), eating disorders (ED), OCD, and panic disorder. My doctoral research reviewed the neurobiological underpinnings of these conditions and how safety through relational attunement may help with anxiety symptoms. I hope to be able to help in any way possible or provide resources for help to be discovered.
