Reality Therapy

Reality Therapy is a practical and empowering approach to therapy that helps individuals take responsibility for their actions, make better choices, and work toward fulfilling their needs in healthy ways. It focuses on present behavior and personal responsibility, helping people create positive changes in their lives by making conscious, intentional choices.

In addition to the training received at school and the books I have read on Choice Theory and Reality Therapy, I have had the privilege of taking training on Reality Therapy with Dr. Robert E. Wubbolding, Senior Faculty at the William Glasser Institute.

I’ve used Reality Therapy for decades to help clients take charge of their choices, relationships, and personal growth. This approach focuses on what’s within your control—clarifying needs, setting goals, and building accountability. I specialize in helping clients move from feeling stuck to empowered by reconnecting with what truly matters and taking meaningful action.

Reality Therapy focuses on the now. We all have a past that affects us and while acknowledging that is key, living in it just keeps us stuck. There are five basic human needs Reality Therapy focuses on and when we aren't getting our needs met, it shows up in various spaces of our lives. The interventions and skills learned in Reality Therapy help to ensure are living in the now, working towards our future and not stuck trying to change the past.

A Reality Therapist focuses on helping individuals take control of their choices and behaviors to create meaningful change in their lives. Rooted in Choice Theory, reality therapy emphasizes personal responsibility, problem-solving, and present-focused solutions rather than dwelling on past issues. As a reality therapist, I guide clients in identifying their unmet needs, examining their current behaviors, and developing actionable steps to achieve their goals.

I focus on helping take responsibility for their choices and actions, empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. With a strong foundation in Glasser’s choice theory, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their needs, set realistic goals, and develop effective strategies to meet those goals. By emphasizing personal responsibility, self-reflection, and problem-solving, I help individuals break free from unhealthy patterns and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships
