More than 30 years ago, I started out as a high school teacher and through time realized that my view of helping people changed. I saw a need in my community for education and healing of a different kind. I, then, went to graduate school for counseling while teaching full time. Upon graduation, I worked with many different populations and it was a wonderful experience to be a part of the healing process with others. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to work with people in their journey to heal. Today, I am thankful for that move toward counseling people.

Filling your schedule to the brim for fear of panicked thoughts entering your mind. Any opening for idleness, even while driving or in the shower, offers space for the ‘what if’s’ and negative thoughts to swirl about endlessly. Feeling lost and out of control of your own life. You feel stuck yet untethered and free falling through life. Wanting to take back control of your thoughts and behaviors and not let anxiety have so much power over what you do or how you feel about yourself.

With 25 years in the counseling field, I guide women out of self-doubt, fear, guilt, worry and stress and into a life of personal growth, self-acceptance, empowerment, authenticity and freedom.

I specialize in working with teenagers during some of the most challenging times of their lives. Teens seem to be struggling now more than ever and resources are scarce. I've worked with thousands of kids and I believe that most of them don't need an intense level of support but rather the right support from the right person. My approach is to use a growth and development model through self-awareness in order to help teens be happy and healthy. I work with teens who need to be able to be open and honest and who are looking for their lives to shift in a positive direction.

Deciding to seek out therapy can be difficult and making a connection with the right person even more so. Knowing something about the person you are hoping can help you can make the start of the process easier. I began working in the field at 16 for an afterschool program at an outside placement school, things progressed from there. From then to now I completed a BS in Business and an MEd in Counseling & School Adjustment, I obtained an LCMHC in NH and LMHC in MA. I have worked with individuals, couples and families in many settings including schools, residential programs, detention settings, office settings and in the community.

Reality Therapy
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 behavioral 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 behaviors. 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.
