A Note From Jordyn
I have always loved a good story. I love character development and am fascinated by learning who people are and where they have come from. I believe the love of stories and God’s kindness drew me to become a therapist.
I graduated from Taylor University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Literature in 2015, and from Loma Linda University in 2018 with a Master of Science in Marital and Family Therapy. I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2021.
Many aspects of my own story led to me feeling called to pursue becoming a therapist, namely my own family narratives of family dysfunction, mental illness, addictions, personal struggles, and my faith. There is so much brokenness in this world. As I have worked through my own brokenness, I have found that God can uniquely use the therapy space to help us write a new story, one that He can restore and heal.
My training and background is in family systems and couples theories. I thrive working with individuals in the context of their relationships, finding that most change happens when the couple or family is pursuing healing together. We do not exist in a vacuum, and we are not the only characters in our story. I want to help you restory your life and relationships in a redemptive way.
As a Christian, I quickly found that while my therapy training and skills are valuable, they do not replace the healing that can only be found in the True Healer. I incorporate scripture, prayer, and the wisdom that comes from God’s word as appropriate. God is love, and I believe He wants to restore and heal the brokenness we have experienced as a result of living in a broken and fallen world.
My favorite scripture comes from Revelation 12:11- “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” We are saved by Christ as we tell the story of what He has done for us. There is power in our stories.
It would be an honor to co-author with you, give you back the pen, and help you start writing the kind of story you want again– Your story is not finished yet.
