Have you been overwhelmed with trying to navigate through the ways you show up in your relationships with others, making you question your own self-identity? The goal is to help you navigate through these feelings/emotions with self-curiosity and compassion. I want to help hold space for my clients to explore these new tools through self-discovery.

Feeling stuck in a cycle of overthinking, burnout, or self-doubt? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Hi, I’m Jordan, an LPCC with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I believe that therapy starts with feeling safe, heard, and accepted for who you are. My hope is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can take a breath, let your guard down, and be your authentic self without fear of judgment.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with unique, down-to-earth mindfulness approaches to therapy. I emphasize awareness, acceptance, and a sense of humor in knowing and loving oneself.

Heidi Samuelian

Therapist

I started my career working with foster youth, helping provide skills for leaving the foster system and finding success in their adult lives. Over the years, I gained experience working at hospice, doing grief counseling, working at a mental health and substance abuse hospital, working at schools, in private practice, and leading community anxiety groups. I am married and have three kids which provides me with a source of learning every day in how to develop patience, understanding, communication, self awareness, and self care.
