(she/her)
I am a Licensed Psychologist with nearly 15 years of experience. My specialty is providing compassionate and non-judgmental couples therapy and family therapy. I support to couples, families, children, adolescents, and young adults facing moderate to severe symptoms. I work particularly well with families and couples struggling when one member is dealing with or recovering from addiction - particularly adolescents and young adults. My approach is centered on fostering a safe environment for all clients where they can explore their challenges and work towards meaningful solutions. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy, with a more directive approach when working with couples and families.
First sessions are intake sessions, where I talk with each member of the family or both of the couple or the individual to find out who you are how you got to be who you are and what specifically you’d like to work on and I come up with a plan as the best way to work on that with you.
I am a thoughtful, non-judgmental Psychologist. I do a very good job at making everyone in the session feel heard whether I am working with a new mom, a family in crisis, or a couple working through infidelity. My goal is to help you navigate the best way to move forward, problem solve, or handle the smallest or biggest of issues.
I love working with couples who are trying to navigate problems in their relationship. I also love to work with families who are struggling with individual members of the family or with communication amongst all family members. I have a lot of experience working with children and adolescents, parents, and families in crisis. I also work very well with patients who other clinicians have deemed “difficult“ or who present with severe symptoms. I am also an addiction therapist and work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with a family member, or who themselves has an addiction disorder.
I identify as
Couples Counseling
Couples Counseling is sometimes the only way couples can "hear" each other. I have been working with couples with issues in communication, loss, anger, infidelity, LGBT+, and fertility for well over a decade.
Structural Family Therapy
I utilize Structural Family therapy when working with families. This therapy type analyzes your family unit and interactions and helps you improve those interaction and improve your communication and family functioning.
Integrative
No one type of treatment works for every individual. Using the integrative approach to therapy, first we identify your needs and your history; then we talk about what communication style and learning style work for you. From there, I utilize a combined approach to therapies or the therapy that I feel is best suited for your individual needs.

I was very happy with our first session with Dr. Barrett. I have never done couples therapy before, and I was pleasantly surprised that she really got to know both of us individually in a short time and gave us a useful, practical guide to work with each other.

Dr Barrett is so easy to open up to, and so profound and accurate in the questions she asks me... I often feel like I'm learning things about myself just through the questions she asks me... and I mean this as a compliment. She listens to me, and knows how to pull deeper meanings from my session and leave me feeling like I have the tools to accomplish my goals.
