Welcome!
I'm so glad you're here! One of the most courageous steps in life is to admit when we need help. Everyone has experienced hurdles to overcome at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, marital or relationship issues, you can know that there is hope for a better tomorrow.
It is understandable that you might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters. You can feel confident that you are taking a bold first step toward reaching a more fulfilling place and becoming a more empowered you. Therapy is an investment in you and your most precious relationships. It creates space and time to address your deepest longings.
"Emotional Responsiveness [is] the key ingredient in [relationship] satisfaction and stability."
- Dr. Susan M. Johnson (Emotionally Focused Therapy founder)
I am confident no problem is too great to overcome when we can find self-compassion for how we arrived, acceptance for why we are here and curiosity for how we move on.
If you’re interested in creating a more authentic, joyful, and more fulfilled you, I'm here to join you in your journey.

Meet Diane Smith
Do you feel life is restricting you from who you really want to be for yourself, your partner and/or your family? My primary goal in therapy is to help enhance your ability to make choices. I use personalized approaches to help empower your bravery to look inside yourself. The authenticity of these choices will lead to serving you and your relationships in the best ways possible. Assessing our sometimes, self-imposed, "road blocks" in life can help us build accountability for our choices. This, in turn, allows these choices to become "building blocks" toward lasting joy for each relationship creation of your choice.
