I'm a board-certified psychotherapist specializing in marriage/couple's therapy, trauma, and working with first responders. My passion is to help people live happier, more fulfilling lives. When I first became a clinician 11+ years ago, I worked in community mental health and only with children, adolescents, teens, and their families. Now, in private practice, my passion focuses on helping adults learn how to give and receive unconditional love. That takes form in a variety of ways. I work with teens as well, however since my practice is solely telehealth it is very limited; some conditions need a higher level of care.

There are some things to know about my practice, to ensure I can meet your needs regarding response time etc. Work/life balance and self-care are important for all of us. While we have the ability to reach anyone, anywhere, and at any time of day, boundaries can help us stay on track with our goals and keep us from getting overwhelmed. With that said, I try not to log into work on my days off or after a certain time in the evening. This helps me show up as my best self for you during our appointments. Additionally, I am self-employed and don't work in an office, so I don't have a receptionist who returns calls or emails for me. There can be a wait before I respond to your message. If this style can work for you, I'd love to become part of your care team and help you with your goals. Take a look at my calendar - you are seeing all of my current openings and possibilities for scheduling your appointments. If that works for you please schedule a free consultation call and we can chat in more detail about how I can help!

Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.

I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.

If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Many of my clients are students, young adults, and working professionals navigating the demands of school, careers, relationships, and life transitions. They’re often trying to balance everything while wondering why life feels harder than it should.

I believe treatment works best when you better understand yourself and your options. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, psychosis, or another mental health concern, my approach is practical, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to help you better understand what’s going on, feel confident in your treatment, and find an approach that fits your life.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Bryan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals who find themselves at a point where life feels overwhelming or “too much.” Whether you’re navigating a major transition, processing grief or loss, adjusting to change, or simply feeling weighed down by stress, you don’t have to face it alone. My priority is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported during this season of your life.

I view therapy as a true partnership. You are the expert on your life, and I’m here as a steady co-pilot—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing and supporting you as you move forward at your own pace. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, we’ll explore the emotional, relational, and practical factors impacting your well-being and develop tools to help you regain balance and clarity.

Together, we’ll work toward strengthening resilience, building insight, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. If you’re ready to take the next step toward feeling more grounded and supported, I invite you to reach out and give me a call so we can begin this work together.
