It was after several years of being a supervisor in the corporate world that I realized I was more interested in helping the people I was working with than I was in the product we were creating. I enjoyed working as a team in business but I LOVE helping people!

My background includes a master of clinical mental health counseling from Marymount University as well as a bachelor of science in Business Administration from the University of Mary Washington. I have been a collegiate athlete and coach, most recently as assistant baseball coach for Marymount University where I created a mental strategies and mindfulness curriculum for our players.

I am Licensed Professional Counseling (LPC) in the state of Connecticut (Lic#003845), a National Board Certified Counselor, and I hold a Certification in Substance Abuse Counseling in the state of Virginia. My approach to counseling is to be as direct and compassionate as I can be with the goal of modeling effective and honest engagement between myself and my clients. The interventions I use come from a diverse experience of techniques ranging from; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Transpersonal Counseling, Gestalt Body Processing, and Psychodynamic modalities. Recently, I’ve specialized in working with high-profile and high-achieving clients who in their effort to crush their professional disciplines often have missed aspects of themselves that prevent them from enjoying their life fully.

I truly enjoy counseling as more than just a profession, but my passion. Technology is making this more accessible but the profession is still catching up on how to maximize its value. InLine Counseling is me effort to move this forward. In order to keep things flexible I only take a handful of clients. This provides me the time to do the proper planning and creative treatment planning that people truly deserve. I look forward to working with you. -Ryan
