Hello! I’m glad you’re here. Choosing a therapist is a big deal, and finding the right fit is essential. As a mental health counselor, I believe everyone can grow, adapt, and thrive. I take a holistic approach, drawing from various therapeutic theories to meet your unique needs, values, and goals. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am an affirming therapist dedicated to providing a supportive and understanding environment for individuals questioning their gender identity and/or sexuality.

I help individuals, couples, and families discover a new and more complete understanding of themselves, their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I work from an existential-humanistic orientation, which is just a fancy way of saying that I believe every person is unique, valuable, and has purpose. For many people, discovering that purpose is the difference between a satisfying life and an empty one. For others, fulfilling their purpose gets messy and hard. In both cases (and many others) it can be helpful to talk it all through with a trusted therapist.

Throughout the 18 years I have been a therapist, I continually grow in my love for this work. I am in awe of the profound healing nature that each of us carry. My hope is that our work together supports you in remembering your wholeness. Whether it’s couples counseling or individual therapy you are looking for, my hope is to create an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment to promote your personal goals and healing.

I assist those who have become aware that the story they are currently living is no longer serving them well. Together we will create a therapeutic environment that cultivates this initial awareness. Through the learned application of compassionate boundaries and a mind/body integrative approach, we work to resolve the past dysfunctional or traumatic parts of your story. As we bring balance to our mind/body through awareness, we may align ourselves with our spiritual center to create a new intentional, energetic story that allows healing and the possibility of wellbeing. I further offer nature therapy and grounding/yogic guidance.

I Am Currently Accepting New Clients. It can be hard to find the right counselor! Where does one begin? I have helped hundreds of clients overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and a variety of complex issues in a private practice setting for over a decade. I appreciate authentic and honest clients that are interested in a safe space to do the hard work to change their life. Therapy is always designed to get you to your goal.

Growth, healing, and change. It is my privilege and joy to work with clients to achieve these in their lives. We begin by building trust, exploring together, developing new insights, taking meaningful action, then sustaining new ways of being. I use mindfulness and nature to help clients, which can be done indoors or out. Similarly, looking at clients' internal parts, relational dynamics, and cognitions can help with transition, trauma, stagnation, depression, and more. I work to restore clients' sense of harmonious connection. I work with ages 7 and up.

Your story is important and unique to you. What you bring into the counseling session is more than a diagnosis or problems you are struggling with. Reaching out for support today is a significant step in getting to where you want to go - congrats! I am a collaborative therapist who sits with people empathetically and kindly.  I work with clients hearing their story and listening for the sticking points that need attention.  My approach is client-centered that builds a relationship with the client. I draw on the many interventions I am trained in; trauma-informed CBT, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing.

I utilize a therapeutic approach that emphasizes training received in Contemplative/Mindfulness Psychology, Cognitive Behavior, Gestalt Therapy, & Emotional Focused Therapy. My approach evolved out of several years of working within the Adventure Therapy field supporting people in awakening to a deeper relationship with themselves & community. I have 25yrs of extensive experience serving adolescents/young men. I also serve men in transitional life phases, couples struggling with communication & parents/families in conflict. I look to assist clients in understanding their mental/emotional self via a direct empathetic approach.

My overall approach to treatment is through genuine and effective interpersonal communication. I believe that the process is a shared endeavor between the patient and the counselor and a successful treatment experience is based upon a strong therapeutic relationship. I create a safe, grounded, non-judgmental atmosphere so that my clients can explore and express the issues they are struggling with and find their path to healing.

You are full of potential... but you are not living the life you want. Maybe you have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety and depression. You might feel trapped in a cycle of negative thinking, painful emotions, and failing relationships. A part of you may carry burdens of shame, anger or sadness. No matter how bad things seem, there is a part of you that knows change is possible.

Hi, I'm Ryan and am currently accepting new clients for individual counseling. I'd love to connect with you and be of assistance in addressing such issues as: trauma history, identity, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, spirituality, and life transitions. I love supporting people who have been impacted by adoption and those who struggle with addiction. I can help you understand the "why" behind your thoughts, attitudes, and actions, and how getting below the surface to the root is the key to healing and growth.

I love working with both individuals and couples and in either case take the approach of discussing what it means to walk through this world in relation to others. Whether that's a committed relationship to a loved one or the relationship you've developed with a casual co-worker or the relationship you have with your parents or the relationship you have with yourself (how you view and think of yourself); all of these carry deep complexity. And all relationships take work. Finding someone who can help you navigate why you feel stuck in these relationships sometimes, can be relieving, healing, and even life altering.

The mission is to create a safe and nurturing space where individuals can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I strive to offer a therapy practice that is empathetic, confidential, inclusive, client-centered, collaborative, and empowering.

I work with adults striving to respond with integrity and effectiveness to many life issues--particularly related to work, career, relationship, and mid-life challenges. My clients include adults dealing with depression, anxiety, performance impairment, stress-related conditions, as well as those choosing to "raise their game." Regardless of their reason for seeking therapy, many of my clients bring important resources rooted in their personal journey of faith or search for meaning. If spiritual aspects of your life are important, I invite you to share that in our work together.

Did you know that a majority of Americans experience a mental health crisis at some point in their life? We all face challenges in life that set us back and sometimes those challenges can push us towards negative thought cycles that prolong our suffering. I specialize in a strengths-based, person-centered approach using cognitive behavioral therapy that helps my clients learn to challenge their own automatic thought patterns in a way that frees them to create the future they desire rather than be a slave to automatic thinking. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy where we work together as a team.

Molina insurance happily accepted! Life can get so out of control that we feel like we are running behind a train, never able to keep up or get on board. If you connect with any of the following statements, we should talk. I feel overwhelmed to the point of shutting down. I want to make life changes. Intrusive thoughts are ambushing me. Procrastination, yep. I feel exhausted after social engagements. I don’t know if I love my partner. My family acts like the trauma never happened. Depression and anxiety have infiltrated my life. I never expected this kind of financial or employment instability. I just need to talk to someone.

I believe that relationships are at the root of all of our experiences. Whether exploring your strengths by reflecting on past successes and triumphs or in our search for peace and finding a resolution in the presence of present difficulties and challenges, our relationships will determine whether the outcomes of our endeavors are deemed to be productive & positive on our journey to seek and pursue the purpose in which we set for or if they cause more distress and pain causing us to languish in our own confusion. I can help you to better understand the different

My goal is to teach clients how to become their own counselor because no one knows you better than yourself. Whether you're struggling with coming out, navigating relationships, or reconciling your identity with societal expectations, I am here to offer guidance and support. I specialize in helping clients work through shame, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and family conflict. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences without fear of judgment.
