Hi, I'm Barbara! I'm so glad you're here. I've been helping children, teens, adults, and families for over 40 years.

MY PROCESS
I offer a variety of services including counseling/therapy for individuals and couples and parenting and marital consultations. I view my role as a coach or personal trainer for building emotional muscle so that people can not only “feel better” but more importantly get and stay better.
Overcoming problems and building emotional muscle takes effort. I believe in a team approach to change, and as one member of your team, I will work diligently with you to provide my professional skills, knowledge, and services.
My normal practice is to begin with an evaluation. During this time, we can both decide whether I am the best person to provide the services which meet your needs. During our first session we will get to know each other and talk about what you'd like to accomplish in therapy. It is also important that you “check me out”, and ask me any questions so that your decision to work with me is as informed as is reasonably possible.
