I'm Sandra Jordan, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. The greatest lesson I've learned is that the most beautiful person you can be is yourself. Day to day we're faced with traditional/societal "norms" and told if you step outside this box you've somehow fallen short. Many face depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, destructive perfectionism, and more just trying to "measure up". I became a therapist to help people push through to better mental health and wellness. My approach to the client-therapist relationship is to provide a safe space. I encourage healthy displays of emotions. I believe it's okay to laugh or cry - it's okay to dream big and admit failures. I give room for you to speak your truth without fear of judgement. What to expect from Day 1 - we'll speak about steps you can take to immediately begin redefining your vision of yourself, your life and any stumbling blocks that may be before you. We'll make an initial plan on how we can work together to break negative cycles and tear down barriers that prevent you from thriving as your authentic self.
