Hello, my name is Ryan. My approach to mental health is to provide you with a space to process difficult issues, help guide you through the processing and help teach skills needed for the reduction of symptoms through a Cognitive Behavioral Approach while still utilizing skills from other approaches such as Gestalt, Behaviorism, and Existentialism. As a United States Air Force Veteran, I still uphold the core values distilled in me through my time in service: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.

I work mostly with adolescents aged 14+ as well as adults up to age 50. Much of what clients are looking for in counseling is a safe space where they can explore and process their trauma that has led to PTSD, depression, anxiety, or other disorders. The common goal tends to be symptom management and/or relief for most adults. For teens it can be important to have an adult outside of the home and outside of school who can listen empathically and objectively to what they’re experiencing, help with techniques in emotional regulation, and offer a safe space to discuss fears. With client-centered therapy a lot of this can be possible.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and want something more expansive? I take a holistic approach to therapy and believe the mind-body connection is essential to the growth process. I incorporate modalities such as breathwork, meditation, yoga, reiki and expressive arts. I am trained in EMDR and recently completed a certification course in integrative medicine and nutrition for PTSD and complex trauma. I have 18 years of experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief/loss, emotional regulation, boundary setting, self exploration and life transitions.
