I have a background in families; so, I work well with children and teens.
Hey there! I'm Ryan. I'm glad you are taking the next step in addressing your mental health. This can feel intimidating. It takes courage to open up to someone new. Do you feel like other therapists haven't been able to help? Have you noticed little to no progress in therapy before? I help people understand themselves in light of their family dynamics. Let’s look at your story together so you can rewrite some parts, get rid of others, and decide how your story will unfold into the future.

Families often need help redefining their roles and addressing conflict when children have more than one home.
Each of us needs to find a way to interact with our world in the best way we can. Sometimes, things happen that make this difficult. Everyone deserves to have someone listen to them and hear them.

I enjoy working with individuals, children adolescents, couples and families.
I believe one of the most important parts of the counseling process is to develop a trusting caring relationship. With this relationship, much can be gained from the counseling sessions. I have worked well with individuals and families who have emotional pain. For many clients, helping them understand what creates such emotional pain, gaining insights puts them on a path for a more fulfilling life. In my practice I work with individuals who have sadness, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, family difficulties, sexual challenges and sexual abuse. My mission in therapy is to respect each client, and walk with them at their healing pace, I believe if we walk together on this healing journey life will be better.
