Balance. Harmony.

Your Rhythm, Your Way.

Welcome, I’m Ryan

As both a mental health clinician and musician, I understand the unique pressures that come with pursuing a creative life — whether you’re performing, producing, designing, writing, or working behind the scenes.

Drawing from my own experiences, I specialize in assisting creatives-particularly those facing life transitions, anxiety, and stress related to their careers. My therapeutic practice is shaped by firsthand experience with the unique pressures and challenges of a creative life. I recognize both the emotional toll — the stress, uncertainty, and self-doubt — and the deep fulfillment that creative work can bring. This understanding allows me to support you in navigating those challenges while fostering the resilience and balance needed to fully embrace the rewards of your craft. My approach combines creativity, science, and evidence-based treatment to help clients foster resilience and personal growth. Together, we work to reduce the impact of anxiety and depression, building skills that restore balance and a greater sense of control in daily life.
