My name is Ryan, and I am a gay mixed-race man and a San Francisco Bay Area native. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, but I also recognize moments where I need solitude to reconnect with myself. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and have a specialty in sex therapy. I enjoy practicing as a sex therapist to help clients become empowered sexual beings.
I like to provide a safe space by being transparent and keeping client interactions very organic. I will introduce myself, elaborate on how I work, and address any questions clients may have. I will also speak to how I use a sex-positive framework in sessions to help clients through their feelings of distress or shame regarding aspects of their sexuality.
I show up for my clients authentically, which they have shared has been appreciated and something they haven't experienced with past therapists. Utilizing a sex-positive framework has helped ground clients as they heal through their negative thoughts and feelings they have about themselves. After therapy, clients feel empowered and resilient.
