You have a unique story. Your LIFE has meaning. Your story shapes your thoughts, words, feelings and behaviors. If life isn't working out the way you'd hoped, is it time to challenge yourself? Learn to reshape your thoughts, refocus your words, experience new feelings and intentionally choose different behaviors . . . so you can rewrite the rest of your story. Anxiety, depression, divorce, blended families, trauma, PTSD, life transitions; sexual, physical and emotional abuse; sexual addiction, marriage enrichment, women's issues, grief and loss; military life, career changes, sending young adults into new beginnings . . . all can seem overwhelming.

Are you tired of arguing over and over (and over) the same marital issues? Do you feel stuck and "not heard," and alone? Together I can assist you with working towards positive dialogue rather than living in a state of "gridlock." Effective methods of how to communicate "soften start-ups" instead of harshness; methods to decrease defensiveness and criticism. Learning ways to build a friendship with each other again....and being a team in parenting. If it is divorce, I can assist you and your spouse through this difficult process.

Life has many ups and downs. Some are more challenging than others. Gaining a sense of what is happening, realizing you are not alone, and recognizing that present circumstances don't define your future will lead to positive change. Learning how to manage challenging emotions, developing resilience, and building on strengths can make a difference in how we cope with life transitions and promote self-discovery.  I would like to support you in your healing journey while emphasizing growth and helping you reach your desired goals. Dare to dream and expand your vision of what is possible.

As a therapist focusing on in self-compassion and anxiety relief, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their inner struggles with empathy and understanding. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I strive to create a safe space for clients to explore their emotions and develop resilience in the face of anxiety. My goal is to empower individuals to cultivate self-compassion and embrace their journey towards emotional well-being.

I believe that everyone should be empowered and confident in living the life they want to live. I treat teens and adults with histories of trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and depression. I believe in working with individuals to increase feelings of regulation and stability in day to day life while addressing historical events that contribute to stressors and day to day challenges. I believe that therapy starts with a strong foundational relationship and providing individuals from all walks of life with a safe and dignified space that is free from judgement.

“Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we’re all in this together.”- Brene Brown

Barber Family Counseling & Wellness is taking an innovative approach to mental health by recognizing the connection that exists between body and mind, the effects that one can have on the other and the synergy that must exist between the two. Barber Family Counseling & Wellness has established relationships with providers who share in this belief, allowing the group to provide counseling to individuals (2+), couples and families, medication management and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Everyone else is making progress in life while you’re standing still. Painful reminders sit like a suffocating weight on your chest, preventing you from taking action. The nagging voice in your head never lets up. “You’re not good enough. Just give up already.” The worst part is you’re starting to believe it. You don’t feel worthy of love, so you settle for unfulfilling relationships. You’re so stuck in the past that it’s impossible to focus on the future. There must be more to life than this! You know that something needs to change.

It is my goal to help you set achievable goals, to find inner strength, and to overcome daily hurdles while working towards internal improvement and serenity. I work with individuals, couples, and families, in a encouraging and supportive manner, to assist with internal and relational conflicts, as well as co- parenting matters, and divorce issues. By looking at things from a different perspective, and helping you to trust that you know what you need, I will help you to setting and achieving your goals.

If you are looking for hope and transformation from someone unbiased and genuine, with a lot of real life experience, contact me for a free phone consultation so we can see if my therapy style is a good fit for you. I use a holistic, eclectic, somatic, and mindful approach to mental health and I am trained in several modern modalities that help to improve quality of life and overall well-being. I am experienced in working with early life and adult trauma, stress and anxiety, depression, adverse behaviors, and with parents who are looking for more skills to create stronger and happier family relationships. I work with age 18 and up.

We all face struggles, trauma, hurt, betrayal, abuse, sickness, sadness, anxiety, and the various other emotions of life’s journey, but if we have hope, we as individuals can triumph. One of my core beliefs is that we are each created as unique individuals, and my role is to partner and journey with my clients as they search for meaning, healing, and, most of all, hope. Each of us has a unique story, and it is my honor and privilege to be invited into your story. I specialize in adolescents, women, and couples therapy. Contact me at the Women's Clinic if you do not have insurance or I accept Medicaid at Mayfield Counseling.

First it was gun violence, then it was climate change. Now we are faced with this severe pandemic that many of us have ever faced in our life time. We here at Alpine Awareness Wellness Ctr are feeling some of the same anxiety, depression and fear as you are and would like to share with you specific coping skills for handling this unprecedented situation.

I graduated with honors with my Masters in Family & Marriage Counseling. I am a counselor & an EMT! I still work as an EMT on an ambulance! I feel that if I’m going to help first responders & their families I still need to be in the field so I do not forget what it is like. It is an unique job with it’s own unique traumas, pains & joys. I love helping first responders and their families. I, also, love working with women. I love to help women build their self-confidence & empower them. Do you want to learn & focus on self-care? I can partner with you to teach you how to manage all the things in your life that you have to juggle.

Love and Life gets complicated... Anxiety, Trauma, D.V., Abuse, Addictions, Complex Grief, Self Harm, Marriage and Family issues may arise and we become blindsided. Hope and recovery is possible. Empower yourself for change.

We dedicate ourselves to providing you and your family members with a foundation that provides internal strength, confidence, and healthy communication. Although Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, as well as the mother's journey are an essential part of our work, we are focused on enhancing the mental wellness of all men, women, children, through the transition into parenthood and the significant changes that alter our lives.

The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.
