As a therapist I am warm, open, encouraging and focus on an individual’s strengths. I consider myself an active therapist; combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth realistic approach to counseling. I believe that healing is a collaborative journey that needs honest caring without judgement. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation.

I am passionate about creating a genuine connection with the individuals, families, and couples I work with. I believe that trust, compassion, and understanding are important in the therapeutic relationship and process. My role as a therapist is to listen, help teach you new skills, validate your experiences, challenge you to see new ways to live your life, and most importantly to help you believe in yourself.

“Persevering through struggle of any kind is an opportunity to give hope and perspective to those who think it’s impossible to survive; even if we are the ones who think it’s impossible. And most times after the worst storms pass, we realize we could have never become who we are today without the struggles of our yesterdays.” -Rae Smith
