More about Ryan

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.

Ryan really listens and tries to understand your experience. He uses that empathy to properly target your obsessions and cater to your experience with OCD. I’ve made so much more progress with Ryan than any of my previous OCD therapists.
