Stressed, anxious, or wondering if hormones are turning your world upside down? It’s tough, but you don’t have to face it on your own. I specialize in helping high-achieving women—including professionals, caregivers, and students—manage anxiety, depression, and burnout during some of life’s most challenging transitions such as menopause. From career stress to midlife changes, I offer a space to slow down, reconnect, and regain clarity. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted, irritable, or stuck—especially when hormones start to shift. I suffered for years with burnout and fatigue, I don't want anyone to feel the same.

Hi, I’m Jennifer—licensed counselor, certified menopause coach, and founder of Vibrant Health Counseling and Jennifer Smith Coaching. With over 25 years of experience in the helping professions—and my own journey through early menopause—I understand how life can feel overwhelming and disorienting. I also know it doesn’t have to stay that way.

If you’re wondering whether what you’re experiencing is menopause or something else, we can explore it together. I provide compassionate, knowledgeable support to help you understand your symptoms, make sense of your emotions, and feel more in control again. Let’s work together to help you feel better, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
