Jordan believes in a person-centered approach to therapy, focused on identifying ambivalence and incongruence, and moving toward clarity and coherence. Jordan also believes that as human beings we have the innate freedom and will to choose our meanings and values. Jordan lays the foundation for the therapeutic alliance using a trauma-informed approach centered on collaboration, choice, transparency, safety, and empowerment. Jordan hopes to help clients reduce shame and stigma through radical acceptance, listening without judgment, and conveying empathy. Jordan is also passionate about sharing information with clients about human development, neuroscience, the impact of trauma, the psycho-somatic connection, and social-emotional learning. Jordan is dedicated to helping clients identify their strengths, and introducing them to their infinite potential and capacity for thriving.
Jordan brings 10 years of experience in education prior to completing his MSW. During his program, he also worked in non-profit programming for youth and adults at Maine Boys to Men where he provided training and facilitated groups examining and expanding perspectives on gender, gender expression, parenthood, and provided support to new Mainers.
