Limited spaces available. We carry within us an image of our best selves: our lives, our relationships, our goals. But sometimes your thoughts, feelings, and actions paint a different picture, and they can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disappointed and unsure how to move yourself to where you want to be. As a counsellor, I can guide you through the process of connecting with yourself and building the tools you need to reach your goals.

I have been helping people for over 40 years using a multifaceted approach. I work from the position of deep respect for all individuals. Presently, I use biofeedback in my practice. This allows me to assist clients with their physical, mental, and spiritual issues. I also use tools such as neuro-linguistic programming and Hypnosis. When a client’s suffering has manifested physically in her/his/their body, I often use pain-free electro acupuncture and laser therapy, taking into account the client's comfort level. It is the intention that clients will leave with a skill level that will help them create a quality life.

If you're an immigrant looking to re-integrate parts of your culture of origin after moving to Canada, you might often feel rootless and lost, having to assimilate out of necessity. You may grieve silently, feel isolated and misunderstood, and sometimes carry shame, fear, and regret for what was lost during your migration. Or maybe you are the child of brave immigrants and struggle to explain your unique fusion of cultures. You desire a successful life in Canada while honouring your heritage, which requires balancing cultures that can sometimes conflict or contradict each other.

Reality Therapy Counsellors

Is reality therapy evidence-based?

Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioural or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.

How long does reality therapy last?

Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.

Does reality therapy work?

Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviours. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.

What are the limitations of reality therapy?

This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
