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, here's what you can expect
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.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our 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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
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.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps you pay attention to your emotions and notice what they’re telling you. You’ll explore where those feelings come from and how they show up in your life. Over time, EFT may lead to stronger relationships, better coping skills, and improved mental health. EFT leads therapist and client toward strategies that promotes the awareness, acceptance, expression, utilization, regulation, and transformation of emotion as well as corrective emotional experience with the therapist. The goals of EFT are strengthening the self, regulating affect, and creating new meaning. Emotions are connected to our most essential needs. They rapidly alert us to situations important to our well-being, by giving us information about what is good and bad for us by evaluating whether our needs are being met. They also prepare and guide us in these important situations to take action toward meeting our needs. EFT views the individual as fundamentally affective in nature. Emotion sets a basic mode of processing in action (APA).
Jungian
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 (ACT)
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 had never had individual therapy before and Ryan started out with a lot of listening through our first sessions and then has moved into practical solutions. He’s very insightful and I find my sessions with him absolutely valuable.

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.
