LMFT, 8 years of experience
Hi! CA and AZ licensed therapist (LMFT, LPCC) with an integrative approach. I received two Masters degrees in Psychology, and am working on a PhD. I've been working for 10 years in the mental health field, 8 years in clinical practice. I have supported clients in all areas such as: processing and understanding emotions in mind/body, identity exploration, personal/soul growth, goal-setting, overcoming and understanding addictions, spiritual support, developing healthy boundaries, working through grief and loss, career challenges, religious trauma, cultural trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming care, dreamwork, etc.
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions and gathering information, as well as learning more about what brings you to therapy. This will help me understand your needs better and how to approach our follow-up sessions.
As an integrative therapist, my greatest strengths and offerings are being a good listener, having empathy, utilizing mind/body/soul into present day practice, and supporting your souls intentions and purpose. This includes many factors such as how things in our conscious and subconscious influence behavior, and how past events and beliefs can shape present feelings/behaviors/thoughts, as well as setting goals or intentions that align with what brings you excitement and enthusiasm for life.
I work best with both adults who are curious about psychology and/or intersections with spirituality. For those who experience metaphysical/spiritual phenomenon in the environment I can be a support. And for those open to exploring and being curious about how understanding their inner world can change their external world.
The central idea of relational psychotherapy is that the patterns of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, whether healthy or unhealthy, are directly related to patterns in our interpersonal relationships, from both the past and present. Relational therapy considers the whole person (mind,body,soul) as well, and also takes into account a persons personal connection with their unconscious, dreams, spirituality, culture, etc.
Jungian therapy focuses on exploring the unconscious mind, often using dreams, symbols, and archetypes to help individuals understand their inner conflicts and motivations. Jungian therapy looks more broadly at the psyche's symbolic content and aims to integrate all aspects of the self, including the repressed parts (shadow), and the persona (the social mask we present to the world). Jungian therapy uses talk therapy, dreamwork, and other creative techniques to help clients achieve psychological and spiritual growth. The goal is to guide clients towards self-understanding, self-acceptance, and a balanced life that aligns with their inner purpose, values, and goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that combines mindfulness and behavioral strategies to help individuals live a more meaningful and value based life. We look at whats important to you, what brings you joy, and help move you toward those ways of being.

I just had my first session with Ryan. I absolutely loved it.. I felt understood, heard and respected when I was sharing thoughts and feelings. We came up with ways that will help me with my anxiety and stress and what to expect in the next sessions. I’m looking forward to this journey of healing.
