I am a graduate level clinician who has a passion for helping young adults, Gen-Zer’s, and Millennial's, work through life transitions, relationships, school stress, and generational trauma. I understand how difficult it can be to navigate through uncertainty, not knowing what direction to turn, while unlearning those inherited toxic patterns. It’s even harder to find someone we can confide in comfortably while we figure all of this out. I would love to be that genuine presence while we work together to empower you to become the best and authentic version of yourself.

“I just can’t. There’s just too much to do and too much to worry about. Work, family, money, kids…who has time to breathe?” You're about ready to fall apart, but fear drives you to push through. Too many people are relying on you to be “okay,” so failure is not an option. No one around you sees it, no one hears you screaming in your head. You've become a pro at wearing the appropriate mask to fit your current audience. Your thoughts keep you up at night, your heart pounds, it feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. And at the same time, you're just so sad and lonely. You can't help but wonder, “what is wrong with me?”

Trauma can create a disconnection from the self, making us unaware of unconscious influences that affect our interactions, relationships, and family dynamics. The goal of therapy is to help you reconnect with the truth of who you are, becoming more aware, present, and authentic, which can lead to profound transformation. I am here to support you with compassion and understanding. I aim to reflect and honor your true self, believing in your ability to heal and trusting that you are the expert of your own life. My role is to support and witness the unfolding of your unique journey.

Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

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.
