Dr. Smith has made me feel seen and heard. Not only is she patient and caring, she asks questions that have made me realize things about myself and my behavior that I didn’t otherwise consider were hindering my growth. She creates a space for me that I haven’t felt before with other counselors where I can be myself and be accepted flaws and all. Dr. Smith has helped me learn to be kinder to myself and learn how to set boundaries in my life where I needed them in a way that is comfortable for me. With each session, I feel more confident in my ability to overcome the stresses and setbacks I’ve experienced due to academics, family issues and health problems. Thank you for matching me with Dr. Smith - she has been a massive support to me during this difficult time in my life!!

"THE REAL VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY CONSISTS NOT IN SEEKING NEW LANDSCAPES BUT IN HAVING NEW EYES." PROUST
Welcome! I am a Psychologist with experience in improving the lives of individuals, couples, physicians, and first responders whose goals have targeted:
Perfectionism
Anxiety and panic
Relationship issues
Career decisions and goal setting
Self-criticism
Personal growth and development
Trauma/PTSD
Depression
Communication issues
First responder issues
Life transitions and more.
Everyone faces stress and personal difficulties at one time or another and we can greatly benefit from support and guidance in reaching personal and professional goals. When you experience anxiety, panic, depression, relationship or parenting issues it may be difficult to feel happy, confident, relaxed, or close to others in your daily life. Feeling anxious about slowing down, overwhelmed, or unable to focus can be stressful and frustrating.
I offer a safe, comfortable, and confidential space for each individualized therapy session, where I provide my care and expertise to help guide you through your current challenges and accomplish your goals.
Whether you are engaging in personal exploration and growth, seeking relief and solutions to current issues, or looking to improve your relationships, I offer knowledge, support, and tools to help bring you closer to the life that you would like to experience.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
