🌿 Sprouting Joy Along the Way: Get to know me

Hi friends, I’m Ryanne — the heart behind Sprouted Joy Psychological Services and someone who wears many hats: therapist, nonprofit leader, advocate, and perpetual learner in this wild, beautiful field of mental health.

I didn’t get here by accident. My journey started with a love for child development and quickly branched into working alongside families navigating developmental disabilities, fertility struggles, pregnancy, and postpartum life. Over time, I realized something big: our systems often don’t see the whole person, and families deserve more than piecemeal support.

So, I leaned into my calling to create change. Today, through Sprouted Joy, I help bridge those gaps by building affirming, affordable, and accessible care — not only in therapy rooms but also through community programs, guided journals (like my Growing Through Hope series!), trainings, and advocacy efforts.

When I’m not working with clients or dreaming up the next way to make mental health care more inclusive, you’ll probably find me scribbling notes for a new group program, sipping way too much coffee, or pulling my family into spontaneous adventures.

This blog is where I’ll share reflections, resources, and maybe a few unpolished truths about what it’s like to grow something meaningful in the messy middle of real life.

Thanks for being here — I can’t wait to keep planting seeds of connection, healing, and hope together. 🌱
