My approach to treating OCD is super-creative while remaining evidence-based. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an effective, research-backed strategy. But because every person has a different story, therapy is like a blank canvas we paint together, and every painting ends up different. Our sessions will go at your pace. We can adapt, we can be patient, and we can find a way. I love being able to see my members do things they never thought they could. Beyond OCD, I also specialize in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, and body-focused repetitive behaviors.

Get to know Ryan
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I have very close relationships with people who face OCD and other mental health challenges. It really helps me as a therapist because I see how hard it is to face these challenges and to want to confront them.
What I want to help you see in yourself
The power of belief can be such an incredible thing. Sometimes it's hard for us to trust ourselves and our abilities. It's not always about being able to "win" or being the strongest person. Sometimes it's just being able to know that we can get through situations where we don't always have to "win"—we just need to know that we can get through it.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I really take those first few sessions gently. When it comes to OCD, which can be so intimidating, we have to make sure that we can provide the most inviting experience.
What my Members say helps them feel comfortable with me
I really try to find something that can anchor us together—something that we both understand, whether that's a shared interest, a hobby, or a similar struggle.
