Welcome

Is a recent traumatic event or one from the past keeping you or your child from feeling happy and enjoying life? Traumatic events, including abuse, neglect or exposure to violence or disaster, may turn worlds upside down, cause feelings of being unsafe, difficulty regulating emotions, and experience issues with trust. Repeated trauma can impact normal development cognitively, emotionally, and socially.

You or your child may feel you have no control, as if something’s wrong, but can’t pinpoint it. This can result in behavior aimed at exerting control. Or you or your child may feel angry at one time, numb at another and overwhelmed at other times. Moods may change quickly. It may be hard to calm. More signs of emotional and psychological trauma include feelings of being in danger, difficulty trusting other people, numerous physical complaints or memory or focusing difficulties.

She specializes in trauma, including abuse, neglect and exposure to violence and disasters. Dr. Smith has also been published in academic-peer-reviewed journals and has provided training and presentations at national and international conferences on this very topic.
