Welcome, yes, I do have space for you now! Anxiety Specialist, Trauma Trained, EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, ERP. I work with the worries, the fears, the trauma, the PTSD, the depressive symptoms, and the thoughts that go spinning through the night. The world might feel very stressful right now and, if you're reading this, you probably need some support. I'm glad you're looking for help. Maybe something traumatic happened or maybe life is just hitting hard. That's why I'm here. I hope you'll reach out and give me a call. I'm easy to talk to. If I don't answer, just leave a quick message and I'll give you a call back shortly.
Yes, I will listen and really hear you, no judgement. My clients often tell me how effective therapy has been. I believe this is because of the combined mind / body work and because of tailoring therapy to the specific person. I take on limited clients because I want to be able to treat each person with my full attention. You are important.
Colleague reviews: "She showed empathy and kindness to her patients and provided them a safe place in which they could begin to heal." Candee Bergstrom, LCSW. "A highly sought after therapist because she embodies a combination of whole health practice and real life experience." Stephanie Spiedel, LPC

Honestly, treatment is as individual as you are. So we're going to look at what happened, why it happened, and how you can move forward from there. It's completely different if I'm working with somebody who's afraid to fly, as opposed to someone who is traumatized. But what I often see happen is at first an understanding of patterns, then gradual changes in behavior, followed by a shift in mood.

I have worked with Dorothy Smith in therapy. It has made a world of difference in my life! She is clinically highly competent. I have learned so much from her. She is warm and accepting, but challenges in non-threatening ways. I highly recommend her.

I am strongly oriented towards EMDR and Mindfulness, however I believe that therapy should fit the individual, so I try to combine techniques to best suit each client.
