Meet Bryan

I specialize in working with high-functioning adults navigating trauma, PTSD, grief, and addiction. If you’re feeling stuck in survival mode or weighed down by experiences that won’t let go, you don’t have to carry that alone. Therapy with me feels like two humans sitting together, honestly exploring what hurts, what’s getting in the way, and what you want your life to look like instead. There’s no one-size-fits-all treatment here. We create a plan that fits you, your story, and your goals.

My goal is to support your growth and help you develop practical tools for healing and meaningful progress.
