Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
— Søren Kierkegaard

Hey there!

My name is Ryan and welcome to this open space of therapeutic journeys.

My therapeutic approach is flexible, down to earth, compassionate, and life-affirming. I see my main role and mission as supporting you in finding clarity and relief from overwhelming life anxieties and pressures; to connect to yourself more kindly and to others more vulnerably; and to process traumatic experiences which may be keeping you stuck.

I have learned that the real work of therapy or learning about ourselves revolves around openness, dedication, consistency, compassion, and patience. It doesn’t matter what the themes or focus might be, without proactive reflection, action, and integration, grounding and sustainable change will not occur.

I thrive on helping everyone I work with to feel less shame and overwhelm, to feel more self-compassion and self-alignment, to engage in more honest and communicative relationships, and to embody more creativity, agency, aliveness in their daily lives.
