Great to meet you!

Welcome to my page and congratulations on making the decision to seek help. I have been a therapist for fifteen years covering a variety of individuals. The beginning of my career was working with men in prison, and individuals who were struggling with addiction. Ten years of my career was spent working with individuals in crisis at the Emergency Departments. The last four years I have worked in private practice with individuals looking for help, support, hope and validation depending on their situation. I volunteered for ten years as a cofacilitator with a grief support group. I feel honored to join others on their journey to regain hope and peace. I will walk beside you and help you navigate the goals you set for yourself.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Using cognitive behavior therapy, person centered, mindfulness and most importantly listening to the client. Following the clients' lead and allowing them to set the pace by adapting to where they are at mentally.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is that therapy will bring tools and confidence which can lead to a new beginning and becoming their best self. The client will set their own goals and together we can work on the barriers that may be standing in the way. Teaching coping skills, creating trust in using their voice, setting boundaries in uncomfortable situations and providing a safe non-judgmental environment.


Barbara's style is

Empowering
Open-minded
