Hi, I'm Barbara! I'm a warm-hearted and compassionate soul. I've been in the mental health field for over 20 years. Helping you find real, solid, meaningful and/or tangible solutions to issues and problems is my commitment to you. You can start a new journey towards health and wellness today! Through the process of changing your perspective, letting go of old burdens, guarding against unhealthy habits, adopting a new credo, and re-inventing yourself, you too can learn to enjoy life again. The simplest things often make the difference. All it takes is a little bit of courage on your part. I'm licensed in the State of Virginia and have worked with children, adults, and folks from all different walks of life over the course of my career. I've spent much of it helping others who were in the middle of a major life crisis, and I can help you, too!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
If you have something pressing you need to discuss, go for it! It's all about your comfort level. Some people know what they want to discuss during their first session, because they are in crisis. Then again, perhaps you've been holding onto a story for 10 years (it could be a past hurt, a trauma or event that affected you), and you've not discussed it with anyone. My hope is that you feel genuinely safe enough to share it with a compassionate counselor. It's okay! We'll begin the journey of rapport-building, information gathering, and ultimately---healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The diagnosis and assessment of specific mental, intellectual and substance abuse disorders is my specialty. In the course of my career, I've interviewed and worked with people from all walks of life, and situations, including those with disabilities and rare disorders. Perhaps you're wondering if you even have a diagnosis? Perhaps you're looking for a second opinion? I can help you! At the very least, I can help you find the resources you need and get you pointed in the right direction. And if, for whatever reason you would be better served working with another provider that specializes in overcoming whatever particular challenges you're having, I will personally refer you. Hopefully, we can work together on a specialized treatment plan that fits your needs. From there, I will encourage you on a journey to discover your own self-worth and potential. Along the way, we will pull together some creative solutions to get past life's obstacles. On a more personal note, I was educated at all religious schools, and have found over the years that our spiritual development and growth are just as important as our physical, mental and emotional needs.
