I'm a Registered Psychotherapist whose work focuses on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, phobias, and relationship and attachment concerns.
I work with people who often find themselves caught in cycles of overthinking, second-guessing, seeking reassurance, or feeling like they need to have everything figured out before they can move forward. Whether you're navigating intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, panic, perfectionism, or uncertainty in your relationships, therapy can help you begin relating to these experiences differently.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely understood, but also supported in making meaningful changes outside of our sessions. Sometimes that means challenging patterns of avoidance, learning to sit with uncertainty, exploring longstanding beliefs about yourself, or developing a different relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions.
I draw from evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-focused therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor our work to your experiences, goals, and what feels most meaningful to you.
Above all, I want therapy to feel like a genuine conversation where we can be curious, work through difficult things, and make room for growth along the way.
Hi, I'm Jordan!
We might be a good fit if…
You find yourself overthinking situations long after they've happened.
You experience intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or a constant need for reassurance.
You struggle with uncertainty and feel a strong need to know or feel certain.
You notice anxiety showing up in your relationships, boundaries, or sense of self.
You're tired of understanding your patterns intellectually but still feeling stuck in them.
You're looking for a therapist who is warm and approachable, but who will also gently challenge you when it's helpful.

My approach
Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Here’s what you can expect.
Warm & genuine therapeutic relationship
Therapy doesn't need to feel overly clinical or formal. I value authenticity, humour when appropriate, and creating a space where you can show up as yourself.
Understanding the patterns that keep you stuck
We'll explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, and identify the patterns that may be maintaining anxiety, OCD, or difficulties in your relationships.
Moving beyond insight
Understanding yourself is important, but so is putting that understanding into practice. We'll work toward meaningful changes that extend beyond our sessions together.
