My therapeutic style is warm, present focused, and collaborative. I will work with you to identify your unique purpose, and to support you to make the changes you desire in thought patterns, emotional responses and behavioral habits. My therapeutic approach incorporates attachment based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and transpersonal therapy. I believe my role as a therapist is to aid in the exploration and re-patterning of memories. This exploration provides a framework in which to track thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that each person has within themselves the building blocks for radical insight and healing. In my spare time, I enjoy creating new recipes, hiking in nature, and exploring my newfound love of gardening. I am a happy resident of a small town in the foothills of Northern California.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brings you to therapy. I will ask some questions about your history, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from the therapy process. You are welcome to share at your own pace, and there is no pressure to talk about anything you are not ready to discuss. Together, we will also begin identifying the tools and approaches that may best support you, including options such as EMDR and Brainspotting if those feel like a good fit for your work in therapy.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
Attachment based therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strength Based Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Mindfulness
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I work to integrate relational and brain-body based healing methods. In addition to talk therapy, I incorporate approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting to help process trauma and emotional experiences that may be held in the nervous system and the body. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where clients feel safe enough exploring their experiences at their own pace. My goal is to help clients move beyond insight alone toward deeper emotional processing, greater self-compassion, and lasting change. For 18 years I worked with children, adults, and families focusing on relationships, trauma, anxiety, and loss. Additionally, I have served as a clinical supervisor supporting other clinicians in their work.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with client's who are seeking deeper healing beyond traditional talk therapy and are open to mind–body approaches. Many are navigating trauma, anxiety, shame, relationship patterns, or a sense of feeling stuck. Clients who are curious and open to approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting often find our work especially meaningful.

Ryannah is a very diverse therapist. She is knowledgeable about many things therapeutically and practically, and she’s willing to challenge herself to learn more to better suit the needs of her clients. I have found myself experiencing an array of emotions during my session with Ryannah. She brings out the full spectrum of the soul during her sessions, leaving you feeling very satisfied and fulfilled with the work you’ve done. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s incredible!
