LCSW, 25 years of experience
In my 25+ years as psychotherapist I have a profound respect for the vast human experience and the resilience of the human spirit. I am a welcoming and safe presence for clients who are seeking to be heard and understood. I have a compassionate and direct style that conveys my ability to offer a unique perspective. I work with each individual's strengths to build skills and coping strategies to manage symptoms and life's stresses.
I discuss what therapy is and isn't and I review the consents and confidentiality policies. I ask questions about the the client's background as well as their current situation to get to know them and what brought them into therapy.
Most clients feel immediatly comfortable with me and appreciate that I provide gentile and honest feedback
I work well with adults and adolescents, male or female. I am comfortable providing individual, couple or family therapy.
Assisting clients in understanding how their thoughts can influence their emotions and behavior is often the first step in a client feeling empowered to make changes
Often couples have difficulty examining the dynamics between them and how each of them has a role in miscommunication or conflicts
Mindfulness practices asssit clients in recognizing their emotions thru sensations in their bodies and techniques to manage their emotions

If I could check off all the above descriptions for Barbara’s sessions I absolutely would! Her guidance & knowledge helps this 79yr old walk out of the office with new tools to improve my life ! Barbara is very good at making you feel comfortable and your feelings matter ! She has excellent insight with her suggestions and guidance to help you live your best life . I highly recommend Barbara to anyone who is a work in progress, and wants better mental wellness.
