Ryan began his career in mental health while working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals around Austin where he discovered a passion for helping individuals through times of emotional and psychological distress. During that time, he earned his masters degree in professional counseling from Texas State University.
He later attended The University of Texas at Austin for nursing and went on to work as a psychiatric nurse for five years before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. Ryan’s approach integrates empathy, evidence-based care, and a genuine curiosity about each person’s path to wellness.
