Who We Help
Relationships shape everything. We help you strengthen them.
Whether you’re in a partnership that feels stuck, raising a teenager you can’t seem to reach, or carrying anxiety or stress that spills into the people closest to you, we meet you where you are. Our therapists work with:
Partners and spouses who want to reconnect, communicate better, or heal after betrayal
Engaged couples preparing for marriage
Parents and teens working through conflict, distance, or big transitions
Young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, dating, family, and life changes
Individuals whose struggles show up in their closest relationships
No matter which door you walk through, you’ll find a warm, steady therapist who treats your relationships, and the people in them, with respect.
How We Work
Understanding the pattern, not blaming the person
Most relationship struggles, whether between partners or between a parent and a teen, come from a repeating pattern, not from one person being the problem. One person pushes, the other pulls away, and both end up feeling unheard.In our couples work, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach built on research into how people bond. It helps partners slow the cycle down, understand the fears underneath it, and respond to each other differently. In our work with teens, young adults, and families, we focus on helping each person feel understood, build coping skills, and strengthen communication at home.How We Can Help
Our Services
Every relationship is its own story. Our work is tailored to yours — to your history, your wounds, and the future you're still reaching for.
Advanced Training · Gold Standard
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples
EFT isn't just a technique, it's a map back to each other. It helps couples identify the painful cycles that keep you stuck: the pursuing, the withdrawing, the silence that says everything. Through EFT, we replace those patterns with new ones rooted in safety and secure connection. This is the work that changes relationships at the deepest level.
Tailored to Your Dynamic
Couples Therapy
Every relationship hits a wall. Ours is to help you find the door. Couples therapy at Ryan Psychotherapy Group is shaped entirely around your history, your wounds, and your strengths; meeting you exactly where you are.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I SEE YOU. I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
I know what it’s like to reach out and be met with cold resistance, followed by a painful retreat into silence. The space between you grows so wide it feels like an unbridgeable chasm. The hope of a relationship filled with mutual love and tenderness seems like a distant mirage — slipping further away with each passing day.
But here is the truth I want you to hold close — it is possible.
Even when your hearts feel broken and far apart, there is a way back — a way to rebuild trust, to rediscover love, and to feel close again.

We are a private-pay, out-of-networker practice. While we don’t offer sliding scale, we’re proud to partner with Give an Hour to provide pro bono therapy for those who qualify.
Using Insurance: As an out-of-network provider, we can supply a monthly Superbill, which you can submit to your insurance carrier for possible reimbursement. To make this easier, we’ve partnered with Mentaya, a free tool that lets you check your out-of-network benefits before you begin, so you know what to expect.
I’ve had the honor of walking this path with hundreds of couples who once stood exactly where you are — fragile, uncertain, scared. I deeply understand the ache of feeling lost and disconnected from the person you love most. You are not alone in this. I am here with you.
Together, we’ll work to reignite that quiet flame. I’ll be right there with you through the messy, painful, and beautiful process of understanding, forgiveness, and healing.
You’ll learn to listen not just with your ears, but with your whole heart — and to speak in a way that reaches deeply and transforms.

A seasoned expert in relationships
For more than 20 years,
I’ve witnessed couples turn despair into hope, brokenness into new beginnings — hearts once shattered now beating in harmony. It is a remarkable gift to witness couples like you reconnect, rebuild trust, and rediscover the intimacy that makes love come alive again.
With deep commitment to your healing journey, I have advanced training in two of the most effective, research-backed approaches in relationship therapy — The Gold-Standard Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method.
Together, these evidence-based methods create a compassionate, safe space where your emotional pains are acknowledged, your hopes are nurtured, and the foundation for trust and love can grow again.
