I will encourage always, challenge sometimes, and judge never. This is a safe space to get the support you need to create the change you want to see in your life and in yourself.

Counseling includes your active involvement as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also includes changes in the interactions we have learned and adapted in our relationships with families and others. You will have to work both in and out of the counseling sessions. There are no instant, painless or passive cures, no "magic pills". There will be homework assignments, exercises, writing and journals, and perhaps other projects. You will have to work on relationships and make long-term efforts. Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but more often it will be slow and deliberate; effort may need to be repeated.

Life can sometimes feel unpredictable. Plans you've made have fallen through, people you've relied on seem to be too busy to help, and everyday tasks keep piling up. My approach to therapy is focused on helping clients create realistic goals that support the lifestyle they desire. Therapy is more than talking; it's an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgment-free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for change. I take a collaborative approach, helping you clarify goals, understand what’s getting in the way, and develop meaningful steps toward lasting growth. My focus is to guide you through periods of transition, strengthen your coping skills, and address behaviors that may be holding you back. I have been working from a client-centered, integrative approach for over 20 years. I focus on creating a nonjudgmental and collaborative relationship with my clients that promotes healthy communication and steady progress towards wellness goals. My approach draws from my training in cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and family systems therapy. Together, we can help you gain deeper understanding of yourself and develop the skills you need to improve overall health and wellness.

When we feel stuck in our lives, for weeks, or years, it can take a toll on us in ways we may not see. Time passes and we don't feel any further in our life. We're left feeling exhausted and alone in our pain. My name is Ryan, and I provide therapy for people who are looking to break free. Whether it's poor relationships, anxiety, depression, substance or process addictions, trauma, or a desire to deepen their connection with others, I help my clients find strength, flexibility, and compassion, returning themselves to the feeling of being whole. My job is to guide you through the things that have been holding you back in your life. I'm experienced in both modern and historical approaches; psychodynamic, attachment-based, internal family systems, addiction, and psychosynthesis. Regardless of the style of therapy, I specialize in creating safe holding for exploring emotional depth and healing.

She works with clients ages 14 and up who are dealing with a range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar diagnosis, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and schizophrenia.

I help people change through developing a greater awareness for all of themselves, which allows them greater resources to deal with the struggles that they are experiencing. As clients develop greater awareness of themselves, including their wants, needs, emotions, and ways of relating to others, they tend to develop a wider range of choices in their lives. They learn to recognize what they do that keeps them from being their best selves. They also learn to tap into and use their own internal wisdom to help guide their choices, developing a greater authenticity in their lives. In relationships, couples and families develop greater intimacy and ability to use conflict to further their relationship through their greater awareness of themselves and their other family members. People I work with also learn with guidance and coaching to experiment with new ways of being with themselves and others in the world, which furthers their growth and development into more happy, fulfilled human beings. As an experienced psychotherapist and former graduate psychology professor, I have developed a wide range of expertise in helping others. I am honored and humbled by the courage and spirit of the people I work with and the struggles they face. I feel privileged to help people come to terms with pain, face challenges, and change their lives.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them learn new coping skills, create positive changes, and attain the goals they have for themselves. My clients view me as supportive, nonjudgmental, and practical. I work with professionals, including MDs and attorneys, as well as stay-at-home moms and students. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety and stress, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, codependency and relationship concerns, and depression. I also support clients who are navigating in vitro fertilization (IVF) and a challenging fertility journey. I help my clients create a more balanced, meaningful, and fun life for themselves. This can include managing negative self-talk, learning to be more assertive and set boundaries, and re-evaluating self-care.

I am dedicated to the practice and research of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples who are struggling and interested in improving their relationships.
