Welcome to Obsidian Mind Body, made for those looking to receive a different type of psychiatric care. The care you receive will be thoughtful, compassionate and embodied. And it will be informed by your own life story. Bearing witness to your story is the only way to know what is actually happening & help you choose a treatment that's right for you. Care is innovative, relational, collaborative, & unhurried, without giving up clinical rigor. I specialize in working with patients experiencing treatment-resistant depression, narcissistic abuse syndrome, clinician burnout, & those interested in antidepressant tapering.

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.

You may be here because something in your life feels heavy, overwhelming, or out of balance. You deserve a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly seen. My holistic approach looks at the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—so we can understand what’s happening beneath the surface and help you move forward with more clarity and ease. In our work together, I’ll give you practical tools to navigate stress, anxiety, grief, or major life transitions. We’ll focus on reframing self-defeating thoughts, building self-esteem, and practicing mindful compassion so you can feel more grounded and empowered in your daily life.

With over 30 years as a Transformational Therapist, I draw from Breathwork, Guided Imagery, Stress-Release techniques, Centering practices, Energy Work, Therapeutic Movement, and Pattern Interrupts. For those open to it, I also offer Medicine Wheel work and Sacred Card readings for deeper insight.

Clients often say they feel comforted by my warm, intuitive style—maybe helped by the calm, steady presence I’ve learned from my beloved cats. If you’re ready for gentle, supportive, whole-person healing, I’d love to work with you. You can book time with my directly through my profile on Headway or give me a call.
