About Rian

A Smith School for Social Work graduate, Rian has also taught mindfulness practices for over a decade, employing accessible tools for stress, anxiety, and habitual thinking. He utilizes his experience in somatics (body awareness) to encourage clients to further deeply investigate how their thoughts and feelings are being experienced in the present moment and hold historical memory. 

 

His training in social work enables him to recognize how external systems, culture, and interpersonal and generational life experiences influence one’s mental health. By conceiving of what is within and without one’s ability to control, Rian’s clients are offered a sense of empowerment by redefining outdated self-concepts, deepening self-acceptance, and focusing on what their emotions are teaching them. By doing so, clients learn how to navigate boundaries and approaches to thinking to initiate change and growth.

 

Rian identifies as a cisgender, queer, Jewish man.
