Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and considering me to be your therapist. I am a licensed clinical social worker trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT). These treatment strategies work by helping us better understand the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, learning new skills to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings over us, and clarifying the values by which we'd like to live our lives.

I specialize in various forms of Acceptance Commitment Therapy with a focus in Trauma.
Feeling alone in a crowded room? The deafening sounds of your innermost thoughts plague your existence. You fight not to think about your problems but alas! They re-emerge as a raging storm that topples your already fragile sense of security. You try negotiating, pleading, and even demanding the thoughts to Stop Already! Unfortunately, this leaves you feeling broken and defeated. If only there was another way.

My work is rooted in mental wellness, built from a trauma informed integrative model & infused with evidenced based practices such as CBT, ACT & Mindfulness.
My clients often say, “I wish I had started therapy sooner!” That doesn’t have to be you. Is therapy hard at times? Absolutely! It’s also an extremely rewarding personal growth opportunity that many define as “Life-Changing.” For over a decade, I’ve helped clients thrive personally & professionally as they learn to heal/manage: 1) Mental Health 2) Self-Confidence 3) Imposter Syndrome and 4) Relationships. Through experience gained in the US & abroad, I’ve developed a therapeutic style described as empowering, collaborative & interactive. I truly believe each client is HUMAN & not their symptoms, life stressors, or illness.

My clinical approach to therapy is grounded in ERP, ACT, and CBT.
Navigating OCD, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions can be emotionally and physically draining. There is little more frustrating than thinking and behaving in the same ways despite knowing they contribute to these issues and other debilitating symptoms. Therapy is a place to safely explore the thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that are interfering with living a more fulfilling and rewarding life. (more info on www.smithlicsw.com)

At times, life events can seem to control the way we feel, creating feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Other times, you may struggle with feeling unmotivated or purposeless without any specific cause. I believe psychotherapy empowers people by understanding specific struggles while actively developing skills to create change. A key part of our work will be identifying the things that matter to you and finding ways that therapy can bring you closer to a life that is more connected with your values.
