Hi, I'm Ryan. I am a proud Mexican-American and member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am passionate about providing affirmative therapy and a safe space for all of my clients. My approach to therapy is eclectic, because therapy is not a “One size fits all”. I enjoy working with people who want to work on improving their situations. I am ready to go at a pace that is comfortable for you. If that means starting off slow, or certain topics are off the table, that is ok. If it means you would like to jump right in, I am ready for that as well.

Therapy is a journey of personal growth and healing. It takes courage and can be challenging, but you don’t have to embark alone. My hope is that, as your therapist, I can be the holder of hope and a source of support. At the root of my work with clients are genuine empathy and human connection. I strive to provide an accepting and safe space for you to express yourself and process what has brought you into therapy.

The difficulties of everyday life can sometimes become overwhelming. When on top of those difficulties we add the stresses of illness, anxiety, depression, our identity, our love lives and more-we can easily feel burdened to our breaking point. We just don't feel heard. Sometimes these situations can linger for months or years, making it hard to meet our obligations and live our lives in the way we would like. However, those difficulties and stresses don't need to define who we are-or where we're going. It's my goal as a therapist to help you tell your story.

You may have found yourself here because you are feeling overwhelmed by your world, internally or externally. I will help you find some peace. Therapy is a way to intentionally find out who you are, in a world that is constantly trying to define us by what we should be. I value a client/therapist relationship that is dynamic, where we work collaboratively to create therapy that is right for you. I provide a meaningful space for you to explore what challenges are present in your life. As you share, you will be met with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance as you work towards a greater sense of ease in your life and relationships.

We often feel like we didn't get the memo on how to “do” life. As a nonbinary, Trans person from the Midwest, who transitioned in their 40's I can relate. I’ve spent the better part of my adult life unlearning harmful messages and beliefs, and relearning who I am. You may think, "Do I need to be trans to have a trans therapist?" The answer is no, working with me everyone can expect a safe, authentic, and sometimes silly space (with pop culture references) where we collaborate to find real solutions that dismantle the toxic and oppressive messages, and find solutions unique to you, and peace that last a lifetime.

It’s natural to feel lost sometimes. When you are overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, or disconnected, having a space to express yourself genuinely with a witness is medicinal. Reaching out for help can be hard and I appreciate everything it has taken for you to get here. Finding a trusted ally is an important step in receiving the help that you need to live as you truly are, wholeheartedly. I believe in the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship and it is my honor to be a companion along my clients’ journeys.
