Hi, I’m Barbara, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of BeMore Wellness. I provide virtual therapy for young adult and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth—therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical to be effective. Together, we focus on building insight, emotional regulation, and self-trust so you can move through life with more confidence and clarity. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, move at your pace, and support you in becoming more of who you already are—not who you think you “should” be.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the states of Arizona and Indiana. I received a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Purdue University and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Christian Theological Seminary. I have had the opportunity to work in and gain knowledge from a diverse collection of settings that include elementary, middle and high school, hospital chaplaincy department, private practice and private agencies working with families in the child welfare system. Each of these settings has provided me with hands-on experience working with individuals and families in crisis, as well as those who are faced with navigating some of life’s challenges such as divorce, loss, and addiction. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I love a systems approach, understanding that we do not exist in a vacuum, but rather are part of larger systems. I take a non-judgmental, warm approach to therapy and I believe in tailoring my therapy towards my client's individual needs. Together we will establish goals and design a path towards a healthier way of being.

Whether facing everyday challenges that are holding them back from living a fulfilling life or struggling with family dynamics that have caused distress or trying to navigate through grief, my clients can learn to use their insight to find new ways of functioning that better serve what they want from this life. My clients can see a future for themselves that brings peace, happiness and healing. The first step towards seeking help is often the most difficult. I am excited that you are here and look forward to taking this journey alongside you.
