I work to help clients understand our pain and learn to process it into moving forward. I work from a DBT perspective. I have worked with teens, adults and couples of many different cultures and helped them to reach their goals in community and private practice settings. My passion is to help you learn to build the tomorrow you envisioned. Whether those goals be personal, professional, or familial.

Many therapists like myself venture into the mental health field motivated by their own experiences. Growing up in a family that struggled with addictions, grief/loss, co-dependency, violence and dysfunction, I existed in life feeling lonely, worthless, and empty for too many years. I turned my life upside down and reconstructed my life based upon me as I was truly created. Living life whole, as a spiritually connected being, brought me to love, accept and respect myself. In this place LIFE IS GOOD! I know the path that leads to this place.

Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all- consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

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.
