Hello, my name is Ryan and I am a child and family therapist. I have extensive experience and training in working with children and young adults from 3-25 years old. My specialities lie in treating the person and family for trauma, depression, anxiety, mood dysregulation, anger issues, problems with communication, relationship building, and safety risks.

My philosophy is that each person has the ability within them to make changes in their life and my job as a therapist is to walk with each client on that journey. I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment to be able to process trauma that may be interfering with day-to-day life, learn and practice tools to ground and cope when triggers arise and to be able to problem solve in an unbiased place.

I work with adolescents and adults. I focus on helping people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic approach which means helping clients gain insight into the dynamics of maladaptive patterns that have evolved in their lives. Gaining insight is often the first step, or the foundation, of positive change. I also do EMDR and parts work to facilitate recovery from trauma.

All people are one of a kind, but here's where we're all alike: All of us come from a personal history and context: A past that got us through to where we are now. And "Right Now" is where all the choices and opportunities are. Some things we may want to change, other things we may choose to accept as they are. Therapy can be helpful in understanding yourself well enough to know which is which. And therapy can offer some things you may need to go forward with your choices: Hope, perspective and someone who believes in you while you practice believing in yourself.

I offer treatment exclusively for women. Are you frustrated with anxiety? I support women struggling with stress, anxiety, and relationships to lead a more empowering, spiritual, and fulfilling life. Together, we work to gain insight, find stability, develop a positive self-image, and heal from pain. Through a neutral, self-compassionate lens, we can safely explore your vulnerability through which you will gain strength to fully live how you choose. By utilizing mindfulness, we will elevate your awareness, tackle intrusive thoughts, and help you heal in the way you feel most empowered.

I specialize in helping people overcome issues with depression, anxiety, worry, negativity, and/or addictions. Often genetics, childhood and adult trauma, stressful relationships, insomnia, diet, and general self-care can be contributing factors. Talking with a licensed psychologist can help you with such dilemmas and gain a new perspective on life. My goal is to help explore new ways to handle such roadblocks and to live a full and enjoyable life.

You survived through a childhood full of abuse and now that you are an adult, you are still feeling scared often, struggling with chronic low self-esteem, having difficulty trusting others, and feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world. You have such a hard time dealing with conflict and asserting your needs with others and are tired of feeling so crummy.

Currently Offering Telehealth Only in Oregon and Missouri. Finding an opportunity to heal takes courage and is often a decision made in isolation. I believe everyone deserves access to healing spaces so that we can live a more connected, authentic and resilient life. The wounds we carry often keep us from feeling a sense of meaning, purpose and community. Finding a safe space to heal in the world we live in can feel impossible. My work focuses on creating this space together. It's my goal to help you better understand the systems that stand in the way of your healing and that prevent you from accessing the support you really need.
