“To whatever we look for any good thing and for refuge in every need, that is what is meant by ‘god’. To have a god is nothing else than to trust and believe in him from the heart…To whatever you give your heart and entrust your being, that, I say, is really your god.” - Martin Luther

Ryan received his Masters in Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and has been hosting biblical counseling since 2018.

Ryan’s goal is to compassionately help counselees see the relationship of the God of Scripture to their story. How do we draw near to God *here*? He seeks to help counselees develop their understanding of root issues so that they can strive toward living a joyful and God-honoring life.

Wise, dead people like C.S. Lewis are some of Ryan’s favorite counselors:

"The Christian way is different: harder and easier. Christ says “Give me All.”... I have not come to torment your natural self, but to kill it. No half-measures are any good. I don’t want to cut off a branch here and a branch there, I want to have the whole tree down. I don’t want to drill the tooth, or crown it, or stop it, but to have it out. Hand over the whole natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the ones you think wicked—the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours."

- Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

“So there is the mystery of true contentment. A contented man, though he be the most contented with the least things I. The works, yet he is the most unsatisfied man that lives in the world. That soul which is capable of God can be filled with nothing else but God…a carnal heart thinks of no reference to God, but a gracious heart, being enlarged to be capable of zoos and enjoying somewhat of him, nothing in the world can fill it, but only God himself.”

- Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
