“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second-best time is today!” It is both a passion and a privilege to be invited into people's lives and relationships, and to help them become better versions of themselves and better connected to themselves and those they love. I work with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships to help them find their way back to each other. I also help individuals who are in a difficult season of life find their way back to themselves.

Sara Smith Practice Description
I have worked in various mental health settings for over 10 years. During that time, I have come to develop a passion for working with people around their relationships with themselves and others. I love seeing couples learn to communicate better and connect with each other in deeper, more meaningful ways. I also love to help people heal from difficult or traumatic experiences and experience themselves and their lives in a fresh, more freeing way. I seek to balance compassion and empathy with challenging my clients to grow in ways that will enrich their lives. I enjoy connecting with my clients in a very real, down-to-earth way and am honored to be invited into their stories.
