As a therapist, creating a safe and supportive environment is essential for establishing a positive therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and collaborative atmosphere in my therapy sessions where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. In my sessions, I aim to be warm, compassionate, and attentive to my clients' needs. I encourage open and honest communication and actively listen to my clients to fully understand their perspectives and concerns. Working with me should feel like a supportive and collaborative process. Clients should feel heard, validated, and respected, and I strive to work collaboratively with them to identify goals and develop a personalized treatment plan to help them achieve those goals. Overall, I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where clients can feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that promotes healing and growth.

If you’re here, something likely feels off. Maybe you’re exhausted from holding things together, stuck in the same arguments, or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you love. You might not know exactly what needs to change, but you know something does. I work with individuals and couples who want more than surface-level coping. My approach is honest, steady, and compassionate. Together, we slow things down enough to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. We look at patterns that keep you stuck, how they formed, and how to respond differently moving forward. Therapy with me is collaborative and active. I’ll listen carefully, ask direct questions when needed, and offer tools that fit your goals and values. I draw from relational and trauma-informed approaches, always shaping the work to you, not forcing you into a formula. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. We’ll take this one step at a time, building clarity, trust, and a stronger sense of connection along the way.

Do you find yourself experiencing trust issues, or are you feeling lonely? Are you continuously feeling down or overwhelmed? Consider a reality in which you can cope with the challenges in your life and learn to thrive. My specialties include advanced training in trauma, attachment, and family conflict. Coping with personality disorders is another specialty of mine. I've worked with people age 4-70! There is also a therapy dog in every session. Your quality of life is essential. My work involves helping you create your own trauma-sensitive narrative and recognizing your growth edges to improve your well-being. I can help you explore, build, and constructively pursue goals to work toward that will serve you in the best way. Think about letting yourself rewrite your story. You deserve it. You do not have to live in a state of constantly feeling down or overwhelmed! Overcoming self-sabotaging behaviors is liberating. I believe in the power of resiliency and choosing to take back or create the life you have always wanted to lead. Contact me to start the process of taking back your power and control and building your resiliency.

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.

I strongly believe in your inherent ability to grow and change-- to survive neglect, hardship, and trauma and become stronger and more resilient. I help people find their strengths and learn to accept and even love their vulnerabilities. I teach coping skills and I listen intently.

If you’re living with the aftereffects of trauma, chronic stress, or anxiety, you may feel constantly on guard, numb, or disconnected from yourself and your relationships. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for adults in California and Virginia. I’m an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-forward psychologist: we build psychological flexibility—making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-based action. We go at your pace; you’ll never be pushed to disclose before you’re ready. My approach blends acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy (CPT), prolonged exposure (PE), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)-informed skills, mindfulness, and attachment-focused strategies. Together, we map patterns that keep symptoms going, strengthen boundaries, regulate the nervous system, and practice real-life communication skills so change holds outside session. I often support privacy-sensitive clients (federal security-clearance and tech government professionals), veterans, first responders, immigrants and refugees, and LGBTQ+ clients. Care is confidential and self-pay, with superbills available.

A strong approach to helping people with mental health challenges is patient-centered, collaborative, and holistic. The core idea is to treat the whole person, build trust, and match care to the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Core principles Start with respect, empathy, and nonjudgmental listening. People with mental health conditions often do better when they feel heard and not stigmatized. Use a whole-person view that considers emotional, physical, social, and environmental factors, not just symptoms. Explain that there are multiple treatment options, and that a first-line approach may need adjustment over time. Involve the person in shared decision-making so the care plan reflects their values, goals, and comfort level. Practical care approach Assess symptoms, safety, functioning, and supports. Build rapport and ask open-ended questions. Provide education about the condition and treatment options. Collaborate on a realistic care plan. Encourage coping skills, self-management, and follow-up. Reassess regularly and adjust treatment when needed. Helpful support strategies Offer emotional support and practical help. Encourage healthy routines, coping skills, and treatment adherence. Normalize that recovery can take time, and that progress may be uneven. Connect people to community-based services, therapy, peer support, and other resources when appropriate.

I help adults heal from complex trauma, PTSD, dissociation, anxiety, and the lasting effects of childhood trauma and adversity. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by emotional reactivity, relationship difficulties, chronic shame, or a sense of being disconnected from themselves and others. Although they often appear to be coping on the outside, they feel stuck in survival mode internally. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and paced to your individual needs. I believe healing happens in the context of safety, understanding, and self-compassion, not through forcing change before you are ready. Drawing from EMDR, Somatic Experiencing®, parts work, DBT skills, and mindfulness-based approaches, I help clients regulate their nervous system, develop greater emotional stability, deepen self-understanding, and move beyond survival toward a more connected and meaningful life.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe and genuine conversation. My role is to listen closely, help you feel understood, and work with you to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. I draw on both psychotherapy and psychiatry, so we can address the whole picture—your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and, when helpful, medication support. I value collaboration and tailor treatment to each person’s unique story and goals. My hope is that our work together not only eases current struggles but also helps you grow in ways that feel meaningful and lasting.
