Ryan is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and a Certified Adlerian Counsellor. Ryan completed his Master of Counselling Psychology at Adler University. Before opening a private practice he worked in many different mental health treatment settings. This included addiction treatment centres and community mental health clinics.

In addition to his private practice, Ryan also teaches counselling. Designing and delivering courses for aspiring counsellors is rewarding and enriching for his practice. He has taught at Adler University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and Vancouver College of Counsellor Training. Some of his favourite subjects to teach include ethics, counselling skills, and theory

Ryan also advocates for other modalities for healing outside of counselling. His interests include yoga, mindfulness and psychedelics as an adjunct to traditional psychotherapy. He also is trained in Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Stemming from his work with Ketamine, Ryan offers psychedelic integration sessions to help others explore their own experience with altered states of consciousness.
