More about Ryan
Ryan works with teens, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relational challenges, and issues related to religion and spirituality. He has a particular interest in supporting clients who are exploring identity, meaning-making, and personal narrative. Ryan recently published an academic paper focused on person-centered interventions for young adults.
Ryan integrates narrative, existential, and person-centered approaches to help clients develop deeper self-understanding and create more empowering stories for their lives. He believes that we make sense of our experiences through the narratives we inherit, the dominant cultural stories around us, and the meaning we assign to our own lived moments. His work is also supported by CBT and DBT interventions to provide clients with practical skills for daily life.
At the core of Ryan’s approach is the belief that therapy is a relational space where people can feel truly seen, accepted, and supported. He strives to cultivate a warm, authentic, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner world and move toward healing and growth. Ryan is passionate about helping individuals connect more fully with themselves and live a more meaningful, beautiful story.
Personal Background
Ryan lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Danielle, and their two children. He enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring the outdoors with his family. Ryan is also a dedicated writer and has published multiple articles and a book. When he isn’t in session or writing, you can find him taking photographs or enjoying a cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee, his favorite.
Ryan is under the supervision of Kirsten Banks, LPC, CPCS, CAI, CIP.
