Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Ryan. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, behavior change, and family issues. I'm ready to help you identify and practice solutions to your frustration so you can live a fuller and more enjoyable life! I work with individuals, couples, and families. I have specializations in men's issues, working with teens, autism and neurodivergence, peronality disorders, and ENM.

My approach to therapy

I'm an integrative therapist. I pull heavily from behavioralism and somatics, and a wide range of other modalities, to help identify specific and actionable solutions to your unique challenges. I'm non-judgemental in my approach and I am very active in sessions. I will offer opportunities for "homework" in between sessions, and actively support you to implement improvements in areas you have identified. I will meet you where you are at, help you figure out where you want to go, and how to get there!

What you can expect from me

Treatment usually focuses around desired behavior changes, so we'll start with identifying where you are feeling the challenges, and where you want change. We'll then try to understand why you do what you do now, and any underlying 'stuckness'. From there, we'll develop and practice actionable skills for you to experiment with in between sessions that support your goals. We'll check in on progress with those skills while discussing the feeling from the week. My goal is for you to efficiently gain the tools and skills required to support yourself into the future, and to reclaim the life you want to live!
