Are you feeling stuck?  Hi, I'm Ryan, and I am here to help you. Life can look fine on the outside, but underneath you may feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or caught in repeating cycles. I work with individuals and couples who are coping day-to-day, but sense that something isn’t quite holding together. I offer therapy in person and online. My approach is active, collaborative, and grounded in both professional training and lived experience. Sessions provide space to slow things down, understand what’s driving current patterns, and work towards steady, meaningful change.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? You don’t have to navigate it alone. Counselling isn’t just about talking—it’s about being truly heard, feeling understood, and discovering a way forward that makes sense for you. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship issues, or a general sense that life has lost direction, I’m here to support you. When everything feels too much, it can be hard to think clearly or know what to do next. Together, we can make sense of what you're feeling, uncover what’s holding you back, and start building the life you want.

I believe that therapy should be accessible to everyone no matter their back ground or social status. I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, which explores how unconscious processes and past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This therapeutic approach is particularly effective for those experiencing anxiety, depression, or struggling to understand themselves on a deeper level. Psychodynamic therapy is a proven and powerful tool for addressing emotional difficulties, as it helps individuals make sense of their emotions and life experiences.

ADHD Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
