At Radiant Reality Therapy, we work best with clients who are emotionally insightful but often exhausted from overfunctioning and carrying invisible emotional burdens. Many of our clients come from chaotic, narcissistic, or emotionally immature families and present with symptoms like anxiety, depression, burnout, or self-doubt—yet they’ve spent years minimizing their pain. They’re not just looking for coping skills—they’re longing for clarity, nervous system relief, and permission to stop shrinking. Our clients want to break free from roles like the caretaker, peacemaker, or scapegoat.

I believe therapy is a process of self-discovery that encourages personal responsibility, empowering individuals to take charge of their lives and create meaningful transformation. Therapy is a place where you get to slow down, breathe, and figure things out at your own pace. Whether that be exploring therapy for the first time, a confidential safe space to talk, or needing a challenge for growth. I am a therapist who understands that mental health does not exist in a vacuum.

“If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story" - Orson Welles. To me, this quote is a reminder that we all have our ups and downs in life, every single one of us. Even the people deemed “most successful” still have times that if life would have stopped in those moments, they would have been left feeling as though life were unhappy. No matter your past, no matter what you are experiencing right now, we all can still have a very different ending than what we are on the path to having. I’m here to help you find that new path and to help you feel safe taking the first steps down it.

Welcome! It takes an immense amount of courage to seek out therapy. When we experience trauma or hardship, our nervous systems have to figure out how to survive. Sometimes that adaptation may look like people-pleasing, restlessness, dissociation, anxiety, over-functioning, or depression (to name a few). Therapy involves identifying your learned responses that may have helped you survive, but are no longer serving you in your present life. We will work to sit alongside those unwanted patterns and make space for new ones that better serve where you want to be.

I believe the problem is not the person. I've worked in various roles within the Human Services area for over 15 years. The decision to go into private practice was made because I really enjoy helping people. I've worked with several populations including, women, formerly incarcerated individuals, developmentally disabled, elderly, single parents with children and persons dually diagnosed with Substance Use Disorders. I've facilitated groups and worked with individuals.
