Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and Tennessee. She graduated from King University in 2020 with her Bachelor of Social Work and then from Walden University in 2023 with her Master of Social Work. She is currently enrolled in a PhD of Social Work program through Walden University and is interested in researching weight stigma and its impact on the recognition and treatment of eating disorders. Jordan has worked in a variety of roles in the mental health field since 2019, primarily assisting families with reconnection and healing from trauma and substance use. Since 2023, she has been providing crisis stabilization services for adolescents and outpatient counseling for adults experiencing complex trauma, substance use, disordered eating, and other challenges. She most enjoys working with individuals who struggle with disordered eating and complex trauma, as she believes that everyone deserves to heal and learn who they are outside of their conditions.
Jordan is an Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist and is EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) Certified. Her therapeutic approaches include Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) strategies, and EMDR. Most often, she integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic approaches into EMDR, allowing the client to work not just with their thoughts, but also with emotions, body awareness, and deeper patterns that shape how they move through the world.
Jordan offers a direct yet compassionate approach to help clients understand the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns that often drive relationships with food, body image, and control. Collaboratively, she works with clients to build a more trusting relationship with their body while developing practical skills for coping with difficult emotions and experiences. Her goal is to create a non-judgemental space where healing can happen at a pace that feels safe and supportive for her clients.
“But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself – to let go of the limiting stories
you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them.” – Lori Gottlieb

You can expect the first few sessions to focus on building a strong foundation for therapy. During this time, we'll get to know one another, explore what prompted you to seek therapy, and discuss the challenges you've been experiencing recently.
You can also expect a comprehensive assessment to help us better understand your experiences and identify the areas that may be impacting your well-being. This may include questions about trauma history, eating behaviors, substance use, mood, and other relevant symptoms. These conversations are always collaborative and guided by your comfort level. There is never any pressure to share more than feels safe, and trauma-related discussions will always proceed at a pace that feels manageable for you.
As we gain a better understanding of your needs, you can expect to work together to establish meaningful therapy goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique experiences, strengths, and priorities. Throughout our work together, we'll revisit your goals as needed to ensure therapy continues to support your growth and the changes that matter most to you.
I believe effective therapy is built on trust, safety, and collaboration. My approach is warm, direct, and honest, providing a space where you feel supported while also encouraged to grow. I value open communication and believe therapy works best when we work together toward goals that are meaningful to you.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize emotional safety and recognize that healing happens within a trusting relationship and at a pace that feels manageable. I also use a harm reduction approach, focusing on increasing safety, reducing harm, and creating realistic steps toward sustainable change rather than expecting perfection.
You are the expert on your own experiences, and I bring clinical knowledge, guidance, and evidence-based interventions to support you. Together, we'll create an approach that aligns with your values and helps you move toward the changes that matter most.
My office is intentionally designed to feel warm, comfortable, and inviting—a space where you can feel at ease, be yourself, and focus on your therapeutic work without judgment.
You'll find comfortable seating, soft lighting, fidgets, sensory items, and creative materials such as coloring and drawing supplies that you are welcome to use during sessions. Water, coffee, and snacks are also available to help you feel comfortable and cared for.
Whether you need to move, fidget, create, sit quietly, or simply settle in with a warm drink, this is your space. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe, supported, and comfortable showing up authentically.
I primarily work with teenagers and adults seeking a collaborative, supportive, and goal-oriented approach to therapy. I tailor treatment to each client's unique experiences, strengths, and goals while creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and empowered.
I have a special interest in working with adolescents navigating challenging behaviors, low self-esteem, emotional regulation difficulties, and the impact of trauma. I also work with adolescents and adults experiencing disordered eating and body image concerns, helping clients develop a more compassionate relationship with food, movement, and their bodies through evidence-based, individualized care.
Additionally, I support individuals experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in harm reduction, focusing on safety, collaboration, and meaningful steps toward sustainable change.
