My ideal client is someone who is stressed, burned out, or just dealing with everyday life challenges. They may feel stuck or unsure of what their next move should be. My clients need someone to listen to them—to be heard in a “safe space” where they can freely express themselves. They understand that everyone struggles and that it’s okay to ask for help. Their goals are to learn better ways to cope and deal with their issues. They want to live their best life without fear and anxiety but with courage and resilience.

I enjoy working with individuals throughout the lifespan, from ages 5 to 105. My experience as a school psychologist has given me an understanding of the challenges of both being and parenting a child with special needs, as well as navigating life as an adult with a disability or chronic health condition. I also have experience in working with clients suffering from depression, grief/loss, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, and phobias. I have a special interest in working with clients who are neurodivergent and those who identify as LGBTQIA.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.

Let me help you regain a sense of balance, hope and positivity. Feeling stressed and overwhelmed can interfere with your ability to be present and engaged. Stress about getting everyday tasks completed, worry that you are not good enough, anxiety about what might happen, consumed by what has happened in the past, and overwhelmed with handling and juggling everything. What you really want is to feel accomplished, proud, calm, and steady. You want to enjoy the little things and savor the big things in life; enjoy the moments, embrace the events, and end each day with hope and enthusiasm for the next.

However, not all problems are systematic and sometimes, Existential and Reality therapy may help a patient find the alternative ways to figure out a unique solution to their problems.
When a client comes to me for therapy, they are seeking some way to not just share their problems but to find solutions and remedies based on their own effort. The point having therapy is for the individual to be able to find their own answer based on what works for them and created on their terms. The reason that people would want to achieve this autonomous feeling is because this develops into a security that the individual can feel confident in themselves to rely on themselves when tackling life’s problems and everyday obstacles.

Finding a psychologist who is a good fit, especially at the time of emotional crisis can be challenging. To find someone who is empathic, but also direct and firm, who is not afraid to call you out when you most need it, someone who understands the real life challenges of being a parent, teen, or young adult and who approaches challenges with a sense of humor and compassion, someone who has the right training, expertise, and schedule, can be daunting, to say the least. I am a CBT/DBT trained and practicing psychologist who is compassionate and direct.

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.
