Welcome! I'm Barri. Is anxiety or depression preventing you from living the life you want? Are you longing for fulfilling relationships with others, but unable to attain them? Do you feel unsure how to handle a life transition? I have helped adults and adolescents figure out what's blocking them and create happier and more fulfilling lives for over twenty years. During the past 17 years, I have worked at an elite private school providing therapy to children ages 10-18 while also running a private therapy practice working with adults and adolescents. I have a deep understanding of the challenges of living in the adult world, relationship struggles, work conflicts, parenting issues, etc. as well as keen sense of how to help children navigate the challenges of growing up and moving through school, I am committed to helping my clients manage their mental health and achieve their life goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I believe that the relationship between the client and therapist is critical to successful therapy. In our sessions together, I will strive to carefully understand you and your unique experience, and will explore how to make your life easier and more satisfying.I will not only listen but will also offer practical tools to improve your mood, alleviate anxiety and move through challenges.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use an array of approaches which stem from multiple psychotherapeutic theories . Treatment will be tailored to the client’s individual clinical needs and challenges. I draw heavily from both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in practical application and have a theoretical background in psychodynamic therapy and self psychology.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My number one strength is my natural ability to connect with both adults and adolescents and provide practical tools from the first session to manage life situations. I am relatable, like to use humor in my work and have many years of clinical experience.
