Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor · NCC
For many, life feels like never being enough — or never being allowed to rest. I treat the root, not just the symptoms, because there is a real difference between surviving and actually thriving.
"Relationship is where we heal — and where we wound. Let me be a source of strength for you."
— Brandon Cordon, LPCC NCC
My approach
I take a unique approach that resolves the root first, but addresses the symptoms. Most forms of therapy change behavior first — but neurologically, we can actually resolve and heal the underlying reasons for those behaviors, eliminating the need to merely cope altogether.
01
Resolve the root
Sitting with me should feel less like being told how to change, and more like effortlessly changing — because of specific experiences in our relationship. The root comes first.
02
Neuroplasticity-focused
The brain has plasticity. I don't just uncover the root — I provide the nutrients that change, grow, and empower you, drawing on the latest neurological and clinical research.
03
Authentically relational
I bring myself into the room. The therapeutic relationship becomes the place where new ways of connecting and soothing are experientially learned — not just discussed.
Therapy modalities
Services
Relationships, Couples & Family
For couples stuck in the same cycles and individuals carrying relational wounds. We work on truly feeling heard and seen — and learning to offer that to the people closest to you.
Codependency
A core specialty. Moving beyond people-pleasing and enmeshment toward a grounded sense of self — so you can connect deeply without losing yourself in the process.
Trauma & PTSD
Using approaches informed by Gabor Maté, Peter Fonagy, and Diana Fosha, we address trauma at its roots — not just manage its surface-level symptoms.
Anxiety & Depression
Moving from exhaustion and shame toward genuine capacity for calm, meaning, and presence — in everyday life and in relationships.
Teen & Preteen Therapy
Adolescents need a therapist who meets them where they are. I work with teens, preteens, and families to build healthier foundations during critical developmental years.
Also: Addiction, Grief, Life Transitions & More
Including dual diagnosis, personality disorders, OCD, mood disorders, anger management, infidelity, divorce, parenting, and substance use.
All sessions conducted via secure video from the comfort of your own environment. Available to clients throughout California.

Clinical influences
For many, life is one of two things: either you feel like you are never enough — so why try — or you feel like you have to always keep pushing, never able to relax. If you identify with the first, you've tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how. So you put on a smile to hide it. If the second, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish, but feel less than when you slow down.
Maybe you are struggling in a relationship — ready to learn not only how to set healthier boundaries, but also how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.
"You do not have to do this alone. Are you looking for someone to really see, hear, and get it? Someone to help you not just feel understood, but also empower you to actually change?"
I am highly relational and bring myself authentically into the therapeutic environment. I use an eclectic, integrative set of research-based modalities — what I call a "Psychodynamalytic" approach — that resolves the root first while addressing the symptoms. I provide the nutrients that change, grow, and empower you. The goal is not merely surviving life, but genuinely thriving in it.
I hold an LPCC in California, graduated from a CACREP university, and hold a BS in Biblical and Theological Studies. If you are curious about how faith plays a role in healing, consider this: love — regardless of belief system — is how and what we are wired for, by design or chance.
