My passion is working with mom's (and dad's) who want to provide a happy and healthy upbringing for their children! I help mom's and dad's work through all of the difficult emotions that come with parenting including anxiety, guilt, shame, sadness, frustration and more. I help parent's who are looking to turn inward and do the hard work on themselves, to create the greatest relationship with their child, and childhood for their child, possible. I am currently completing EMDR training and utilizing EMDR interventions in my practice for patients who've experienced physical or emotional trauma, neglect or abuse.

My approach as a therapist has been to provide a safe, warm and accepting space in which to fully explore the thoughts, feelings or behaviors that are interfering with your ability to achieve balance and contentment. Together we can develop a level of comfort and collaborate on a treatment plan that best meets your needs.

Whether you are struggling with past or recent trauma, anger, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, or relationship concerns, it is important that you know you do not have to be alone in this journey. You deserve someone who will listen intently, understand fully, and provide an open, supportive, and non-judgmental space to rebuild through. At Clear Direction Psychological Services, you will learn with the support, expertise, knowledge and guidance of your psychologist, Dr. Smyth, how to better relate to and understand your experiences, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, relationships, and challenges. You will restore vitality in your life.

As a licensed clinical social worker for 30 + years, I have had the privilege of working with people of all ages. My youngest client was 5 years old and my eldest to date 85.

It is then the role of the therapist to join with them on their journey for personal growth. Whether the issues are due to personal relationships, mental illness, alcohol or chemical addictions, trauma, or of another nature, I will be able to assist you in setting goals, changing your thinking, and helping you to make your life better, one step at a time.
