ABOUT ME

Hello, I’m Ryan. I am a psychotherapist who works with adults and couples, especially those in their twenties and thirties navigating addiction, trauma, and life transitions. My approach is calm, collaborative, and grounded in acceptance. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by the past, I offer a space to explore those experiences with care.

I draw from Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment, and Psychodynamic therapies to gently explore how trauma lives in the body—often showing up as anxiety, disconnection, or inner conflict. Together, we’ll work to understand your internal parts and build greater self-awareness and harmony.

With couples, I help navigate the impact of trauma and addiction on relationships, fostering trust, safety, and clearer communication. I believe in our capacity to heal and aim to provide a supportive space for that process.

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.” - Carl Rogers
