THE WOMAN BEHIND ALTERNATIVE HEALING
Healing Is Personal. So Is My Approach.
Hey, I'm Dr. E.
Therapist. Life Coach. Clinical Supervisor. Holistic Wellness Advocate.
​
I believe you can understand every reason you became who you are and still need support learning how to live differently.
​
That's where my work begins: helping you move beyond simply recognizing your patterns and toward creating meaningful change in the way you feel, think, connect, and show up for yourself.
WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT HEALING
Your Experiences May Explain Your Patterns. They Don't Have to Define Your Future.
Somewhere along the way, you learned how to survive, adapt, protect yourself, and meet expectations.
​
Those patterns may have served a purpose. But what once helped you get through life may not be helping you experience the life you want today.
​
Healing creates an opportunity to choose differently.
MORE THAN A TRADITIONAL APPROACH
I Don't Believe in Just Talking About Change.
I Believe in Practicing It.
Awareness matters. But so does what happens after you've connected the dots.
​
My approach brings together therapeutic insight, emotional education, practical strategies, and holistic mind-body wellness practices to support meaningful, sustainable growth.
Explore underlying beliefs, relational patterns, past experiences, and emotional responses.
Understand the Root
Consider the connection between your thoughts, emotions, body, values, and everyday experiences.
Reconnect With Your Whole Self
Build realistic strategies for communication, boundaries, self-trust, and emotional well-being.
Make Growth Practical
MY SIGNATURE FRAMEWORK
Relate. Release. Restore.
My approach is grounded in three interconnected areas of growth. They provide direction while leaving room for your individual experiences, needs, and pace.
01
RELATE
Building understanding.
02
RELEASE
Explore and shift patterns.
03
RESTORE
Practice new ways of living.
Not a rigid formula. A thoughtful framework for moving from awareness toward intentional change.
THE PERSON BEYOND THE TITLE
I'm a Therapist. But I'm Also a Woman Who Believes in Actually Living.
I don't believe caring for yourself should become another demanding task on your list.
​
I believe there is value in slowing down, making room for joy, moving your body, exploring new experiences, and connecting with people who encourage you to show up authentically.
​
That philosophy shapes Alternative Healing and the experiences I've created beyond one-on-one work.
Because what's the point of doing the healing work if we never make room to enjoy the life we're creating?

Wow. The best way I can describe Dr. Smith is simply, “wow”. She is unbelievably attentive, she doesn’t just hear you, she listens, she takes your opinion into consideration, she is thorough and caring and just an absolutely amazing therapist. I’ve been to multiple counsellors, and therapists and Dr. Smith is incomparable is the best way. I could not speak more highly of her. If you have the opportunity to work with her I strongly suggest it.

I’m very grateful to have found Dr. Smith. She is professional and knowledgeable. She always has a message for me after our sessions and is providing different tools so that I can navigate in a more positive manner. Our sessions aren’t just me venting/releasing with no solutions. I walk away feeling empowered and ready to dive deeper so that I can become a better me.

I have been working with Dr. Smith for about 6 months. She's very good at listening and helping to present how I should look at things in a different way. This has been a benefit to enable me to better myself and help me overcome the ways I respond and react to people. I'm better prepared, through practice, to respond to others in a positive way that leaves me in a better place. It's taken some time, but I'm looking at my interactions differently now with her guidance. She's tweaked my responses and behaviours that are making a world of difference.
