Life is full of situations that can make us uncomfortable, relationships that can cause us anxiety and hardships that can make us question “Why”. Effectively working through the circumstances that life throws our way is crucial, and can contribute to feeling fulfilled, accomplished, and content. I view counseling as a large luxury at a small price that everyone can benefit from. Engaging in counseling services with me can provide you with a safe space to unload some of life’s biggest stresses. In addition, I will work with you to identify healthy ways to work through these situations, as well as develop skills for managing difficult situations in the future. 

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have experience working with individuals affected by various Mental Health Diagnoses as well as individuals who have struggled with Substance Abuse. If you think that you would benefit from engaging in counseling services, please contact me to set up an appointment. If I do not think I can meet your needs, I can assist with finding the appropriate person or agency who can.

 Ryan has been a member of the Good Shepherd community since 2013.  As of January 2019, he is excited to offer mental health counseling services to other congregation members, their extended family members and other people who are in some way associated with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.  Please keep in mind that this should not be considered pastoral counseling.  Although his services are not free, they are available at a greatly reduced price.  (Ryan also offers counseling services to non-church affiliated community members - rates vary.)  All his contact information is listed at the bottom of this profile.  

Ryan has a diverse counseling experience.  He has worked as a NYC probation officer, a counselor for Nassau County PINS Diversion and a counselor in the EAP program at the Long Island Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (LICADD).  He has experience counseling anyone ages 10+.  He also has experience with a wide range of counseling topics ranging from stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship/marital issues, etc. Ryan would be happy to discuss your counseling needs at any time.  

Ryan has a master’s degree in Education with a specialization in School Counseling from Hofstra University and a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mental Health Counseling also from Hofstra.  

Ryan's counseling approach is largely eclectic but based on CBT and solution focused counseling theories.
