About Dr. Smith
A space where your story
A space where your story
is met with understanding,
not judgment.
With over fifteen years of clinical experience, I provide a warm, collaborative environment where adults can explore what's weighing on them — without pressure to perform or pretend.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique history and goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or a season of profound transition, therapy can be the place where real change begins.

How I can help
Every person who walks through my door brings a different story. These are the areas where I can offer the most support.
Couples Therapy
Rebuild connection, improve communication, and navigate conflict with compassion. Whether you're facing a rough patch or seeking to deepen your bond, we'll create space for honest dialogue.
Grief & Loss
Loss reshapes everything. I offer a steady, non-judgmental presence as you process bereavement, complicated grief, or the unexpected endings that leave you feeling untethered.
Anxiety & Stress
When worry feels constant or overwhelming, it doesn't have to be your normal. I help clients develop practical tools alongside deeper understanding of what's driving their anxiety.
Life Transitions
Career changes, empty nesting, relocation, identity shifts — transitions can be disorienting. Therapy provides a compass as you navigate uncertainty and rediscover your direction.
Self-Exploration
Sometimes the goal isn't fixing a problem — it's understanding yourself more deeply. If you're curious about who you are and who you want to become, this work can be transformative.
My Approach
Therapy that fits
Therapy that fits
the person, not the diagnosis.
I draw from several evidence-based modalities — including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-based approaches — but I never let the theory come before the person. Your history, your values, and your pace matter more than any textbook.
- Warm, collaborative, and direct when needed
- Evidence-based, but never rigid
- Respect for your pace and your boundaries
- Attention to the body, not just the mind
- Culturally aware and affirming
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.
— Carl Rogers
Common Questions
Things you might want to know
If you're reading this, there's already a part of you wondering whether help could be useful — and that's a meaningful starting point. Therapy isn't just for crisis; it's for anyone ready to invest in their well-being. A free phone consultation can help you decide.
The first session is about getting to know each other. We'll talk about what brought you in, your background, and what you hope therapy can offer. There's no pressure to have everything figured out — I'll ask questions, and you can ask them too.
Please reach out by phone or email to discuss insurance, fees, and any questions you have. I'm happy to work with you to find a sustainable path forward.
Absolutely. What you share in therapy stays in therapy, with the narrow legal exceptions that apply to all licensed clinicians. Your privacy is taken seriously from the very first session.
Yes. In-person sessions are held at my office on Court Street in downtown Reno, and I also offer secure video sessions for clients who prefer the convenience of remote therapy.
