I believe that each person holds a unique essence and recipe for happiness within. Feeling confused about the direction of your life, "stuck" in the same patterns, same "mistakes" even though you "know better"? You are not alone. It happens because we can't just think our way out of patterns, blocks, and imprints of trauma. My clients report significant, tangible improvements in the quality of their lives and relationships. While the time it takes for changes to take hold varies, all clients report feeling better after the very first session. Sessions are non-intimidating, compassionate, supportive, and inspiring.

I work primarily with two types of clients: 1) Transition age (17-25) youth and young adults (often identifying as LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodivergent) who seek to solidify their identity and place in a world with different challenges than that of their parents. 2) Adult women (26-60) who struggle with depression and anxiety, often as an expression of a lack of authority in relation to their their marriages and partnerships, their role as a parent/caregiver, their family of origin, and their workplace. Additionally, I have extensive experience with adult children of alcoholics and I am equipped to work with clients on religious trauma.

I believe individuals are unique because of their life experience, perceptions, genetic and cultural background. I don't use one therapy fits all; I use what I think is best given what each client tell me. I encourage, people to move past their own limitations, but do not insist, because it is their journey not mine. I have worked on my own issues, and continue to do so, I appreciate the courage it takes to open up to another person. This process takes time to build a relationship of trust so you can talk about what you don't want to talk about. My hope is you will find a safe place with me to discover more about yourself

My name is Jo (Jordan) and I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) in the state of Washington. I aim to join with clients to use evidence-based interventions that allow them to overcome the perspectives and issues that don't serve them- especially those that stem from big and small traumas that create distress in our daily lives. The modalities I use are approached from a strengths-based lens, though I primarily work with clients who are interested in EMDR Therapy. It's often disheartening to know that trauma changes the brain, but healing changes it too and brings you back to YOU!

Do you have days where you feel like your relationships (friends, coworkers, family, significant other) are not meeting your expectations? Relationships can be challenging because they require us to change. Life transitions like starting a new job, having a baby, or being diagnosed with cancer also require us to change. When we feel "unprepared" for these changes, our mental health declines. This is why I'm a firm believer in therapy.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, navigating major life changes, or just feeling lost? Are you struggling to figure out what to do after college, or reentering the workforce after a long absence? Together, my clients and I work to place their difficulties in cultural context, while still keeping in mind that we are powerful. Starting with the assumption that everyone is capable of functioning well, I work from an internal family systems, existential, and multicultural standpoint to support clients in developing a deep understanding of maladaptive patterns.

I believe the purpose of therapy is to support people in gaining personal insight, understanding of others perspectives, and integrating this information while planning new and improved responses and courses of action. As we are able to discover and express our hidden emotions and create new relational responses we then have the potential to change a distressed and rigid relationship into a more secure, safe and satisfying one. My commitment is to devote my full attention to you during our time together and to work with you as supportively, competently, responsibly, and professionally as I am able.

All of us, including you, were born with a core self that’s vibrant, inviolable, and indomitable. It’s still there inside, waiting patiently for each of us to work through the layers of difficulties, frustrations, and self-doubt that have accumulated over the years. When we do that difficult work, we’re able to live more from the core self and less from the wounded layer that so many of us have adopted out of painful necessity. In therapy we'll clarify confusions, heal the hurt places, and connect with your core self so you can live with more ease, truth, and self-love.

I wholeheartedly believe that within everyone lies the capacity to heal, to regenerate and to create the most fulfilling life for ourselves. We all have our own unique blueprints for what it means to thrive, and to live a life of authenticity, alignment and equilibrium. With that in mind, we all also carry forth intergenerational, cultural and relational wounds that are just as unique and important to be unpacked and understood. Since 2014 I have been working in community mental health, crisis outreach and therapeutic services in order to understand what it takes to dissolve suffering and activate emotional healing.
