You may be feeling like an area of your life is either stuck in a rut or out of control...or somewhere in between which means you have come to the right place. My approach is to meet you where you are and set goals to either help you get out of the rut or get things back in control. Your situation may involve one of the following dynamics such as relationships challenges in the area parenting, marriage friends, family, romantic partner or in areas of life pertaining to life transitions, such as moving, changing jobs, death of a loved one, loss of a relationship or perhaps challenges it life choices or communication skills.

The story of our growth is often a story of change — in the layered identities we inhabit, the relationships that anchor us, and the responsibilities we are called to step into. Moving through life changes like becoming a parent, shifting careers, separating from a partner, or losing a loved one can make us feel unmoored and overwhelmed, stranded someplace between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to explore the unique complexities, challenges, and opportunities for empowerment that lay inside these vulnerable, vital periods of transition. From a place of humor and empathy, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to explore and evolve your own thought processes, relationship patterns, and habitual responses. Working as collaborators and fellow travelers, we will source creative new approaches that better support your agency, resilience, and wellbeing through life’s inevitable changes. I love working with new parents, ambitious professionals, blocked creatives, and those struggling with relational trauma loss grief. I also thrive in working with men seeking a greater understanding of themselves and their relationship patterns, and who are looking to deepen a connection to their emotional world. My work is grounded in relational psychotherapy with an asset-based approach. We will center your strengths, emphasizing and reinforcing what may already be working. If any of this speaks to you, I'd be honored to connect.

I offer clients a safe, non-judgmental and interactive space to work through personal issues, problems and dilemmas of life. I believe that at times, we need to look outside our usual supports to find a consistent and supportive place to find balance in our lives. Therapy is an opportunity for growth; to feel less stuck and less overwhelmed. I will collaborate with you to identify obtainable goals and explore the barriers and challenges to feeling relief and contentment both within yourself and in your relationships with others. Together, we will recognize your strengths, discover your resilience, and develop your authentic self. As a licensed therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience, my skills and training include the ability to help with problems of anxiety and stress, depression, relationship problems, work concerns, parenting issues and life transitions, among other troubles. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them discover the deeper roots of the issue so they can begin to find resolutions, expand awareness, communicate more effectively with those around them, and understand links between the roots of their issues and their daily lives. I look forward to your call. We will discuss together the best way to begin.

Hello! My name is Ryan (hethey) and I am a queer therapist via telehealth! I identify as a pansexual and polyamorous transgender man. I love working with other queer, polyamorous, andor transgender people. I work with a variety of symptoms and experiences outside of this as well! I have worked mostly with lots of mood issues like depression and anxiety. I have experience working with men’s and women’s issues as well. I work mostly from a client-centered perspective, although I am currently being supervised by a Gestalt therapist. I love utilizing here-and-now and unconditional positive regard in my work as a therapist. I am also becoming a trained EMDR therapist. If we seem like a good fit, please reach out! I look forward to meeting you!

If you’re feeling stuck, caught in worry, self-doubt, or anxiety that just won’t quiet down, you’re not alone. Maybe the ways you’ve managed things before don’t seem to help anymore, or you're just feeling tired of holding it all together on your own. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want you to know it’s okay to not have it all figured out before you do. I work best with people who are thoughtful and ready for change, even if they’re not sure where to start. My job is to help you make sense of what you’re going through, and to walk with you as you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and true to who you are. In our sessions, I use proven approaches like ACT, CBT, ERP, and EMDR, but more than that, I focus on what actually works for you. We’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s going on inside, and work together to build tools that help you handle hard emotions, make decisions that fit your values, and feel more in control of your life. I believe change happens when we feel seen, supported, and safe. Therapy with me is a space where we can be real, with all the messiness, fear, and hope that comes with being human. If you're ready to begin, I’m here to meet you where you are.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment where individuals have the opportunity to explore and uncover their emotional blocks and heal past wounds. I believe that through the process of developing insight and awareness, my clients will be able to better manage their symptoms and develop coping skills that will help them lead more enjoyable and gratifying lives. I aspire to help my clients move beyond fleeting, quick fixes and, instead, implement long lasting change.

Our greatest difficulties can be life's greatest gifts (in disguise) if we can learn how to translate their messages. Every problem we encounter has the potential to bring us to a place of greater self-understanding and presents us with opportunities to overcome our own limitations. In therapy, starting from where you are "stuck," we work on developing your ability to deal with problems in such a way that they become opportunities for personal growth. I facilitate a gentle but intense process wherein clients can develop a better understanding of themselves, their behavior and their relationships and create meaningful changes based on personal values. Through therapeutic growth and insight, you are empowered to transform old, damaging patterns into new, healthier ways of living: from sadness to joy, fear to wisdom, anger to strength, loneliness to connectedness, and shame to acceptance. I believe that wellness is a multifaceted experience, encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of being -- a process of aliveness that comes from your dynamic interaction with the world in and around you. I have a passion for this work and honor and appreciate my clients. I offer a free phone consultation to answer any questions you may have about the services I provide.

I honestly love my work. Working in LGBTQ+ mental health since 2013, I get to support clients with many different needs. A lot of my work focuses on: gender identity, medical and social gender transition, gender-affirming surgery prep & letters, coming out, self-esteem, HIVAIDS, nonmonogamy, kink, stigmadiscrimination, and building healthy relationships. My liberation-focused framework is collaborative, affirming, and intersectional. Beyond queer-specific issues, my focus also includes EMDR, trauma recovery, PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, & recovery from unhealthynarcissistic relationships. In my practice, I offer both EMDR (for those with trauma) and talk therapy (psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, attachment-focused). In traditional talk therapy, we'll note how your past impacts your present, and learn coping and communication tools together. In EMDR, we'll use special protocols & exercises to decrease triggers and trauma responses. It is so important that you feel good about the therapist you end up working with (whether it's me or someone else!). Talking to different providers and getting a feel for their vibe is a great way to see what feels right for you. Feel free to set up a consultation call so we can chat and you can ask me any questions you might have.

Pain of any kind can be debilitating, all-consuming and can lead to feeling overwhelmed, stuck or paralyzed. You may feel that it may never go away, that things will never change or an overall sense of hopelessness. If you are reading this, chances are that you have experienced some form of pain in your life. Pain appears as addiction, chronic illness, relationship issues, family conflict, depression, grief and loss, anxiety and many other physical and emotional forms. Living with and working through these issues can be difficult but there is hope. If you feel that you are ready to start this journey of healing, the next step may be to find the right guide. This involves finding someone you feel comfortable with, trust and can help you understand yourself better. I would like to be that guide for you. My approach involves a direct and empathetic connection that leads to powerful growth and change. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families to heal the wounds caused by addiction, conflict in families, grief and loss, trauma and living with chronic painillness.

I think of the therapeutic relationship like a lighthouse guiding a ship through shifting tides. Together, we shine light on hidden emotional patterns, past experiences, and present struggles—helping you navigate toward greater clarity and well-being. While my foundation is psychodynamic, which explores the unconscious roots of your thoughts and feelings, I also work in a collaborative and integrative way—tailoring therapy to your specific needs, goals, and pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I offer a safe, engaging space for reflection, growth, and change. I work with private-pay clients seeking individual therapy that is personalized, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of your unique story.
