HI, I'M DR. KIM SMILEY
Having grown up witnessing the pain of divorce firsthand, I understand the deep desire for a secure and lasting partnership. I also understand wrestling with the big questions: 'Did I choose the right partner?' 'Do I have what it takes to make this marriage last?'
Like many engaged couples, I felt the excitement of building a future with someone but was often overwhelmed by the uncertainties of what lay ahead. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of wedding planning, but preparing for a marriage is an entirely different journey—one that I believe significantly benefits from guidance, support, and practical tools.
My goal is to help couples craft unique strategies, tailored to their strengths and to their specific challenges, so they can move forward with a customized skill-set for relationship success.
As a clinical psychologist of 20 years and a certified Prepare/Enrich counselor, I use evidence-based techniques to help couples master all the essential skills. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship specific issues, or life transitions, my action-oriented approach will help you set meaningful goals and make tangible progress each session. We’ll build on your strengths, and I’ll be your cheerleader every step of the way.
Warmly,
KIMBERLY SMILEY, PSY.D.
