With a person-centered, solution-focused approach, I like to incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness practices into our sessions, which helps to improve coping skills and better manage stress and emotional pain.
Are you struggling with feelings of overwhelm in multiple areas of life? Our world has changed drastically in the past few years leaving many struggling with additional stress and anxiety. Figuring out how to support our children too, can be difficult. I believe you possess the strength to overcome what you are facing and it will lead you to the peace or healing you seek. I specialize in working with adults of all ages, parents and families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief or life transitions.

If you struggle with fears of not being able to carryon, have desires and dreams to share and accomplish, would like to collaborate in finding your purpose, or feel a deep separation with your loves ones and would like to restore what was lost or move forward in a new direction, therapy can help empower you to take an active role in your own personalized plan for healing. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space inspired by the Person-centered approach, encouraging clients to express themselves freely.

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.
