"But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice, which you slowly recognized as your own."
Mary Oliver
Maybe you know a thing or two about the costs of invisibility and confusion. You recognize it in yourself, or perhaps in someone you love. If you're ready to experience what's on the other side of your pain, let's work together.
SPECIALTIES
Depth
Psychotherapy
There is power in speaking your thoughts and feelings. Externalizing the private through open communication can be a good way to get to know Self, but it's not the only way. Furthermore, insight doesn't always lead to growth. Maybe you've been talking about your shit for a long time, but you're tired of carrying the weight of it. We'll explore how to let go and move forward on the path.
The More-Than- Human World
Many therapeutic offerings leave out the land, plants, and animals as beings separate from us. Both modern and ancient wisdom collectively observe that our welfare is connected to the larger ecology. Separateness is sickness, whereas relationship brings well-being. What is the health of your relationships?
Life Transitions
All in life is change. What season are you experiencing right now? Following Bill Plotkin's conceptualization of human development as a container, we'll work together to orient you to the season. We will also pay close attention to your cycles of rest and work, being and belonging, and grounding and dreaming.

LGBTQI+
Our bodies come in all varieties, all different shapes and sizes. Our brains do too! Let's move beyond the idea that there is only one way to be and to think! Let's go beyond deficit thinking and skill training. It's essential to cherish ourselves as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, or maybe we'll want to connect to larger communities of people similar to us. The future is ours! Bryan specializes in supporting autistic folx, ADHDers, and dyslexic clients.
We'll use a queer liberationist lens to examine gender, sexuality, family, work, and other matters of identity. With your permission, I will also help advocate for you at work, at home, and within educational settings.
Mindfulness
You do not have to identify as religous or spiritual to engage in practices like mindfulness, discussions on ethics expressed through consciously chosen values, or the cultivation of loving-kindness. Nothing spiritual or secular, or any middle of the way approach, should be taboo in therapy.

For the price of a family dinner and a movie, you could invest in yourself though this life-valuing work.
