Relationships don't have to be so hard!

When you're struggling in your relationships, it affects every area of your life. It's hard to be ok when you're not ok with the people you love and care about. You may feel anxious, depressed, you may blame yourself. You may feel triggered when you try to fix the problem or get your needs met. You may even wonder if something's wrong with you, if you're broken. You don't have to struggle like this. With the right therapy, transformation and healing are possible. Let's talk about how I can help you feel more at peace and secure in your life and relationships.

​"Smadar is a phenomenal therapist. ​With her help, I started peeling back my many layers of dysfunction as a child of mentally ill parents. I’m less afraid of relationships and intimacy now than I’ve ever been before."

-Client

​​"It took a long time for me to find a therapist who challenges me but also validates me. ​It’s taken several years of nonstop work to begin feeling like a whole person. I’m more stable and more fully integrated now than I’ve ever been. Smadar is very good at what she does."
