About Ryan
Individuals 16+, Anxiety, OCD, Stress, Interpersonal Conflict, Emotion Dysregulation, Perfectionism, Decision Making, And More!
Adversity is one thing that we can come to expect in an increasingly demanding and
stressful world. When adversity overwhelms us, it can impact those parts of our lives
that are most meaningful. Whether adversity presents as emotion dysregulation,
anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflict, addiction, anger or loss; the impact can
be devastating, undermining our sense of self and confidence. These issues are at the
core of my practice.
Carl Rogers once stated “the curious paradox is, that when I accept myself just I am, I
can change”. In a world of expectations and demands we can often lose a sense of
who we are, and accepting ourselves can be elusive. For over 10 years, I have been
providing psychotherapy as a registered social worker to adolescents and adults in
hospital and private practice settings. Throughout my career, acceptance of ourselves
has been core to my practice. My expertise in DBT, CBT, SFBT and mindfulness, can
help individuals understand emotions more fully, and in turn support decision making
and coping skills with wisdom and confidence. It is my philosophy that reconnecting
with ourselves and accepting who we are, is key to resilience.
Going through troubling times alone can be painful. To be understood is to be
connected, and it is my hope that I can offer a safe space for you to be heard in your
most challenging times. I seek to offer a space that is safe, encouraging and kind, in
the hopes that you find meaning, confidence and joy through all that life offers.
Pick a service, then a length and setting — times on the right follow your choice.
