Ryja (he/they) is motivated by a strong belief in each human's potential to transform suffering into wisdom, compassion, freedom, and loving action. He has immersed himself in learning different ways to facilitate this transformation. Beyond his formal training and licensure as a clinical psychologist, Ryja's orientation to his work with clients is deeply informed by his 2 and ¬O years living and studying full-time at a Zen monastery, and certification as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. My approach Ryja has expertise in responding to times of stress, professional and caregiver burnout, and life transition. His approach is genuine, affirming, and empowering. He utilizes a variety of techniques to assist in balancing the nervous system and creating new patterns of well-being, by incorporating cognitive, relational, experiential, expressive, and transpersonal methods. My focus Ryja works with adults going through times of stress or transformation. For example, he brings enthusiasm for working with professionals experiencing burnout, transgender people and their family members, and others going through times of significant life change that awaken questions of meaning. My communication style Ryja creates a context where clients feel safe and curious about their own experiences. His main aim is to empower clients and find a sense of trust in themselves. My goals for you A process of insight inquiry is used to facilitate clients clarifying their deepest aims. My first session with you The first session is an important time for clients to have support in putting words to what is going on in their life that has created the initiative to come to therapy, what their hopes are, and to ask any questions they have about therapy with Ryja. What types of therapy are well suited to address the client's aims will be selected collaboratively.
