Great to meet you!

Sometimes you know something needs to change, but figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. I'm Ryan, an LCSW, and I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and the challenges that can make everyday life feel difficult. I've been in the mental health field for 11 years and have worked with a variety of populations and challenges. My goal is to help you better understand what you're experiencing, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical ways to move forward.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy should be collaborative, individualized, and focused on what matters most to you. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Additionally, incorporating faith-based counseling for those who are interested is also provided. Together, we'll identify meaningful goals and develop tools that support lasting change.

What you can expect from me

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We'll take time to understand what's bringing you in, explore the challenges you're facing, and identify realistic steps toward feeling better. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel comfortable being yourself while building the skills and confidence to navigate life more effectively.
