I believe there is no sole approach that can treat each client in all situations. Within the therapeutic relationship the client and myself work toward short and long term goals to help one achieve mental wellness and ultimate happiness. I utilize different approaches and different theoretical orientations depending on the symptoms at hand. It is my passion to support and help you, but also encourage and confront negative situations to find healing and ultimately optimum mental wellness.

I’m a non-traditional therapist with a modern approach. I show up to each session as my authentic self because I know how important it is to be able to trust and relate to your therapist. I am a collaborator in our sessions because let’s be real, nobody wants a therapist that nods, only listens and asks you “and how does that make you feel?” At the end of the day, we just want someone who gets us, and I get that.

People need solutions that work in real life. What I love most about the work I do, is that although I initially see people when they feel challenged or confused, as we work together they find courage, develop new skills, and feel more confident about themselves and in their lives. I have a passion for helping others, and with my insight and creative approach, I am able to help people to make profound, positive life changes. The purpose of my practice is to provide a trustworthy, non-judgmental space for exploration, and reflection.

Looking for the right counselor can be just as difficult as dealing with issues that disrupt your life. It's important that clients feel comfortable and safe when they attend their sessions. No subject is taboo and no problem is too big or too small. I am a patient listener, gentle and straightforward. My treatment modalities are based on each client's needs; there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to exploring one's issues.

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.
