Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Brett Ryan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
At my therapy practice, I utilize various tools to help clients restore, heal, and move forward. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist who works with first responders, military, assault victims, trauma victims, and people experiencing anxiety. I use EMDR to help heal people with past traumas in their life that continue to disturb them.
I am also a Trained EFT Therapist (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I utilize this to help couples improve their communication, restore their relationship so that it will be fulfilling again, and heal from past wounds.
