About Me
Hi, I'm Jordan!
As a therapist, my intention is to walk alongside the individuals, families and communities I support to collaboratively work towards their growth and wellness. I am passionate about helping clients find the strengths and gifts within themselves to help make sense of difficult life periods and work towards their mental health goals. I aim to create a safe space for individual healing and growth. ​​
​
I have worked in the human services field for 10 years supporting individuals and their mental wellbeing through a variety of non-profit, government and health agencies. Over the past 4 years, I have worked in a forensic mental health clinic offering therapeutic support to families and youth in contact with the legal system. My experience includes individual, family, relationship, and group therapy.
​​
I have completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Alberta (2015), an Addiction Certificate from Mount Royal University (2017), and a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Dalhousie University (2021). Currently, I am completing a thesis research project to finalize a Master of Social Work degree specializing in clinical practice through the University of Calgary (anticipated graduation in the Spring of 2026).
​My practice is rooted in community and an intersectional feminist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed framework. I am aware that historically and currently, the mental health system can be oppressive and exclusive for a variety of individuals. In my own practice, I aim to:
-
Be aware of my own privileges and how they impact my understanding of the world
-
Remain humble and curious about the unique experiences and views of others
-
Seek wisdom and knowledge that challenges and compliments traditional mainstream approaches to mental health
-
Educate myself on power and privilege as it relates to mental health services
-
Reject perspectives and practices rooted in racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, sexism, ageism, classism and ableism
-
Finally, while I engage in an ongoing examination of my assumptions and practices, I am always open to feedback from clients, their families, and their communities on how I can commit to allyship in a better way.
