Welcome! I'm Ryan. Are you feeling the waves of life? Some waves are gentle and predictable, while others seem to come out of nowhere and knock us completely off balance. Fears may arise about your future, or past trauma might bubble to the surface of your awareness. Anxiety and depression can be normal responses to changes in your insight, losses and transitions. Relationships can become challenging to navigate when we are experiencing such waves. I will meet you where you're at to help you achieve a feeling of wellness. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in counseling children, adolescents and adults, with diverse backgrounds who are experiencing depression, anxiety, parenting issues, Peripartum depression/anxiety and grief and loss. My personal life experiences help me empathize with others who are suffering from mental health issues and I'd love the opportunity to help you heal!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is an essential part of the healing process. To foster the therapeutic relationship I incorporate trust, respect, and authenticity into my work. I provide an open, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel at ease. My goal for my clients is two-fold. In the short term, I'd like to help clients get some relief and to ease some of the symptoms they may be experiencing. In the longer term, I hope to get to the roots of the feelings, concerns and dilemmas that cause such symptoms.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
Although my style focuses on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, I also incorporate other modalities such as EMDR, Mindfulness and Art as Therapy. I also believe in treating my clients with a holistic approach to achieve complete mental and physical wellness.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strengths are that I connect with my clients on a personal level and meet them where they are. I meet them with compassion, empathy, and a non-judgemental space. I also believe one of my biggest strengths is knowing my weaknesses, meaning if I genuinely feel like we are not a good match or that I can't help with certain issues I will be honest about that and help point you in the right direction.
