Great to meet you!

I am a licensed professional counselor with a mental health designation, in South Dakota with 30 years of experience in the field. I specialize in helping clients navigate caregiver stress, anxiety, grief, loss, depression, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach focuses on creating a compassionate, open, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to express their thoughts and emotions. Seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support and empower you as you take those first steps toward meaningful change

What you can expect from our first session

From the moment we begin working together, we’ll embark on your therapeutic journey as partners. Open communication and mutual respect are essential to me, ensuring you feel valued and supported. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, understood, and encouraged to continue your progress.

Barbara's style is

Open-minded
Warm
