Style and philosophy

Barbara describes: I like to think of myself as a therapist who disassembles people’s narratives, experiences, and emotions and then help them put them back together in a way that feels better in order to improve lives and find hope during difficult times.

Barbara describes: I believe that therapy should be a safe, comfortable place where you should feel heard, validated, and accepted as you are so that you can be honest about what is troubling you.

Barbara aims to help reduce the stressful symptoms that led to you seeking out therapy.
