About me
A space for Black individuals, neurodivergent thinkers, couples, and youth to feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #140340), I specialize in helping you navigate life’s transitions, relationship hurdles, and the complexities of identity with a neuro-affirming lens. Currently accepting Aetna, Cigna, and private pay clients.
Ready for a different kind of therapy? I'm here for it!
Accepting Aetna & Cigna. Finding a therapist who truly understands the intersection of your identity and your unique brain-wiring shouldn't be another chore on your to-do list. I’m Ryan, and I provide a neuro-affirming, culturally grounded space where you don’t have to choose between embracing your authentic self and getting your needs met.
I have a special passion for supporting Black and multiracial folks, neurodivergent (ADHD/Autistic) thinkers, couples, and young adults. Whether you’re navigating the weight of masking or code-switching in a world that doesn't feel built for you to thrive, or you're a couple trying to rewire your negative cycles, my goal is to help you unmask and live the life story you want to write.
Since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people facing some of life’s toughest chapters—including addiction, trauma, family conflict, and domestic violence. I don’t show up as a distant observer, but as an advocate and fellow traveler on your path to wellness. My approach is centered on collaboration, curiosity, humility, and a healthy dose of humor.
Every individual is unique, so my approach is eclectic and catered to you. I incorporate DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Family Systems to help you build practical strengths. For those seeking to heal from trauma or painful memories, I am also certified in EMDR Therapy, offering a specialized way to process what hurts so you can move toward what matters most.
You deserve a safe, judgment-free space to bring your whole self. If you're ready to grow past your current limitations and heal, I’d love to connect. Call, text, or visit my website to schedule a free consultation.
