You're holding it together, but something isn't working. The anxiety never switches off, the anger flares before you catch it, or you've been powering through for years and the engine is giving out. I work with men and women navigating late-diagnosed ADHD, unresolved trauma, anger, and burnout, with a particular focus on men's mental health and neurodivergent adults. Shaped by Frankl, May, and Yalom, I believe your struggles carry meaning worth understanding, not just symptoms to manage. I draw from IFS, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy: real depth, practical tools, no jargon. Direct, warm, and straightforward. Free 30-min consult.
Men's mental health, ADHD (late-diagnosed), trauma, anger, and executive burnout. I also work with neurodivergent women navigating late diagnosis. Together we map what's driving the pattern, set clear goals, and use IFS, EMDR, and body-based approaches matched to what you're actually dealing with. Structured, collaborative, paced to you..
I work integratively — IFS to understand your internal system, EMDR to process stuck trauma, Narrative Therapy to examine the stories you're living by, and an existential lens to stay grounded in meaning and values. In our first session we clarify what's happening, set a direction, and find a starting point that actually fits. Direct, collab, your pace.

Anxiety, stress, trauma, and repeating conflict patterns. We'll assess what's driving the loop, set clear goals, then blend IFS parts work with CBT/ACT skills and nervous-system regulation. For couples, I'll integrate EFT. You'll get between-session practices and outcome tracking for steadier mood, better focus and sleep, and healthier connection.

Ryan is one of the most thoughtful therapists I've worked alongside. Steady, non-judgmental, and rare in his ability to reach men who don't usually let themselves be reached. His IFS, EMDR, and existential work is rigorous. The therapist I trust most.

I use CBT/ACT for practical skills, IFS to work with stuck parts, DBT tools for emotion regulation, and EMDR when trauma memories keep you locked in a pattern. First session: clarify what's happening, set goals, pick an approach. Sessions are structured, collaborative, and paced. You'll leave with clear takeaways and optional between-session practice.
