Hi, I’m Ryan.
Counseling and the healing arts is more than just a profession to me, it’s a passion. But it wasn’t my first love—or even my second. From a young age I immersed myself and athletics and sports. Baseball and music have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it was marching in a drumline or playing baseball overseas, I’ve had unique opportunities to challenge myself and gain broadening experiences that I’m able to bring into the counseling room. I’ve also been fortunate to have been trained by some of the best experts in the field, and I continue to learn and grow from them. I consider being a therapist an honorable privilege, and I welcome anyone who wants to connect for a consult.

What I believe….
Each person has what’s called a Self. And that it’s the growing of the Self that provides use the ability to move forward in life.
Transformation is an essential part of being a human.
People have a right to their own autonomy so that can experience who they fully are.
That proper therapy welcomes and dignifies all aspects of the person.
Being fully seen and understood has unlimited potential.
