Your Healing, Your Journey Starts Here
About Me
Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC), and I’m passionate about helping people navigate the challenges that life brings.
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are dealing with significant life events that disrupt their daily functioning. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, substance use, or navigating identity and life transitions, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, energetic, and person-centered. I integrate trauma-informed care into my work and strive to create a safe space where you can build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful goals.
I have experience supporting individuals with concerns including:
Depression and anxiety
Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
Substance use and recovery
Work-related stress
Social fears and isolation
Grief and loss
Anger and emotional regulation
Relationship challenges
LGBTQ+ identity and life experiences
Trauma-Focused Therapy & Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a modality that uses imagery and eye movements to help clients process trauma and other distressing experiences more quickly and effectively. ART can support rapid healing from events that may otherwise take years to process.
My Background
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and my Master's in Addiction Counseling from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School. Before working in outpatient mental health, I gained valuable experience in clinical program development and working with diverse populations—experiences that helped shape my flexible and inclusive therapeutic approach.
Outside the Office
Self-care is important to me, and I recharge by spending time with my family and our two dogs. We love getting outdoors together—whether we’re playing in the yard, going to the lake, or just out for a walk. Being in nature is grounding and restorative, and I often encourage clients to explore what helps them reconnect to themselves, too.
Our Services
Individual Counseling
I offer individual therapy for adolescents (16+) and adults who are navigating a variety of challenges including:
Depression and anxiety
Trauma and PTSD
Substance use and recovery
Grief and loss
Identity exploration and LGBTQ+ experiences
Stress, anger, and emotional regulation
Relationship issues and life transitions
My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, focused on helping you feel supported, empowered, and equipped with tools that work for your life. Whether you’re looking for support during a tough season or wanting to make long-term changes, therapy can be a space for real growth.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
I provide clinical supervision for pre-licensed counselors pursuing LPC or LPCC licensure in Minnesota. My supervision style is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real-world clinical experience. I aim to create a space where new professionals can grow in confidence, sharpen their clinical skills, and develop their own unique therapeutic voice.
If you're interested in supervision, feel free to reach out to discuss availability and fit.
LPC/LPCC Supervision - Coming Soon
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a specialized, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals process trauma and distress more rapidly than traditional talk therapy. Using guided eye movements and visualization techniques, ART can reduce symptoms from issues like:
PTSD and trauma
Anxiety and panic
Grief and loss
Phobias
Pain and physical symptoms linked to stress
ART often produces noticeable results in just a few sessions. If you're feeling stuck, ART may be a helpful way to move forward.
