Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, and uncertain? Is life a balancing act in which you’re trying to effectively manage your career, social life, family, or dating, constantly shifting yet never feeling steady? Does it feel like you’re working harder than ever at managing your relationships but somehow still coming up short? I get it. Life can be extremely challenging, but it shouldn’t feel like you’ll break down at any moment. That isn’t sustainable!

Seeking professional psychological help can be a complicated undertaking. Some people seek help when in the throes of a crisis, others after a long time trying to fix something that is not right in their life. Family conflict, life transitions, relationship problems, anxieties and depression are some of the reasons people contact me for help. When people seek my assistance I try to understand all the factors (personal, family, work) that are impacting their life. This includes present circumstances and historical influences. In an evaluation I work with people to develop the best plan of treatment for their current situation.

When my son was 6 years old he told me that he did not want to play baseball but instead wanted to play soccer. I told him that was fine, but because I knew little about it, it might be harder for me to help coach him. He said to me, "That's alright dad, I'll teach you about soccer then you can teach me back."

"Adulting" can be complicated. If you're in your teens or twenties, you know what I'm talking about - the pressure is real. Yes, it can be a time of new and exciting experiences, but it can also be fraught with anxiety, confusion, heartbreak, and unexpected forks in the road. Whether you're struggling with problems at school or work, difficult relationships, or just the sense that something is missing from your life, therapy may help. Creating lasting and meaningful change can be challenging but you don't have to do it alone.

Years of research indicate the biggest predictor of therapeutic success is the relationship developed between the therapist and client. As the Director of the Smith Counseling Group, I have assembled a practice of therapists who don't "sit back and nod" but provide warm, direct and evidence-based mental health care. Our philosophy is that you should leave every session with the feeling that you are making progress with your personal goals.

Therapy can benefit you wherever you are in life, whether it's in the midst of a crisis, if you're feeling distant from a partner or your parents, or if you simply want to know yourself better. Providing therapy is a sacred calling for me, and I am honored to empower either individuals, couples, families, or groups to reach goals or explore the unknown. I use a systemic approach to help clients in the context of environments and identities. Together, we can grow and become the authors of our own stories. By accepting who we are and our imperfections, we increase our ability to love ourselves and connect more deeply with others.

I believe psychotherapy is a process that helps a person connect deeply with her/himself. By becoming more aware, through the therapeutic relationship, a person comes to understand the basis of his/her conflicts and developmental challenges, which can be manifested by symptoms of depression, anxiety or other distress. I use an interactive approach that focuses on peoples' strengths as well as exploring where they feel stuck. A goal is to help people see themselves realistically, and then to increase their ability to manage thoughts and feelings constructively, enhancing their relationships and their sense of purpose and well-being in the world.

Throughout my career, I have worked to help people have better, more meaningful lives where they feel competent to address their problems and feel connected to others who care. And this is only made possible by my providing a therapeutic relationship which is warm and respectful. I am interested in understanding how people’s histories and styles affect how they get stuck and how they can change. I have had diversified training and experience. Hopefully, this allows for our finding the best approach for getting unstuck. Some issues I address are life transitions, loss, stress, depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationship conflict.

When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way.

NOW accepting new clients! Many emerging adults struggle during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. They spend their days feeling anxious and unfulfilled, falling back on patterns that used to work for them but which no longer are. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, identity development or unresolved trauma, there is a path forward. You might feel like you keep trying to make changes in your life, and maybe things will go well for a while, but nothing sticks. You're motivated to change, you just need some extra guidance.
