Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, helpless or is your life out of control in some way? Have you experienced depression, anxiety, addictions, or traumas that affect your ability to sustain relationships? Do you seek a safe, supportive place in which to explore your feelings, thoughts in order to turn your life in a new direction? For 23 years, I have helped people understand and change their behavior and motivations using primarily a cognitive (thinking based) behavior therapy approach which examines harmful thinking that supports negative feelings, and behavior patterns, so that you become equipped to change and grow.

People come into therapy because they want change. The pain of doing what you're doing, is bigger than the fear of changing. A good therapist knows pain, fear and change. Their job is to be a part of your team because you know you are doing this FOR YOU. I know the feeling. Well. Trauma comes, and nobody invites it in. It happens to you. You do what you can with what you have and what you know. Until someone gives you a better way. I want to be your someone, part of your team. I specialize in Depression and Anxiety and Trauma. I know what you are feeling and I know it does get better.

I offer weekend and evening sessions! Reaching out for help is difficult and oftentimes feels vulnerable. Being brave enough to reach out for counseling is a strength in itself! There is an ever present stigmatization of mental health when the truth is that everyone is often struggling. I strive to see the world through my clients’ eyes to fully empathize with where they’re coming from in order to best empower and guide them to healing. Depression and anxiety can look and feel different to everyone and lots of us have gotten really good at masking like everything is alright. This is a safe space for everything to not be okay.

I generally use solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered and reality therapy to help explore your strengths and overcome your setbacks.
There are so many surprises and experiences in the world to shape and grow us, some of which can be life-changing or hard to move past. It is easy to become voiceless, bottle things up, or notice that you completely have changed yourself to merely get by. Normalcy is often what everyone wants, but yet, to achieve it can be a constant battle with unending emotions. I have an innate drive and passion for supporting others and helping them reach their full potential as they navigate through transitions, adolescence, and other milestones in life, regardless of age group.

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.
