My background is in chemical dependency training at state and local hospitals where I worked at various levels of care from those who are very early in recovery to those with sustained recovery and ending at a community mental health facility where I supported individuals in transitioning to medication assisted treatment out of Department of Corrections.

All of us deserve to savor what life has to offer to the fullest extent possible. Many of us experience that journey as compromised by obstacles that threaten to rob us of our joy. These blockages may come from events in the present, such as loss of a loved one or a deteriorating relationship; or they may result from earlier events that have left wounds/scars unhealed. I have been engaged in clinical work for 41 years, helping people navigate difficulties, heal trauma, restore their lives to wholeness. I invite you to let me walk that journey with you.... -- Barbara

*currently accepting new clients for day time appointments* Have you experienced trauma that has left you feeling a lack of control, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or incapable of actively engaging with your environment? Therapy should assist you in regaining a sense of control and allow you to develop the skills to reengage with your environment in a positive and hopeful manner. My goal is to provide a safe space to process your thoughts and learn effective skills to work through the memories and images you may experience on a daily basis.

I have been in private practice for over 30 years and believe that people can truly change their lives. People can take very difficult experiences in their lives and use them to develop a more meaningful life. I draw from my own experiences while I work with my clients and believe that change can happen at any age. People can use grief, loss, trauma and life's most difficult experiences to develop meaning that they may never have had. Finding your own spirituality and your own style of coping is what makes it unique.

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again". Deciding to begin therapy can feel very intimidating. However, I offer a non-judgmental approach of working together to explore your strengths and build self confidence to identify the best path to move forward and achieve your goals.

My belief is in whole heart healing...that is, healing of the mind, body and soul. I believe that people have the tools to help heal themselves, but with all of the toxic energy that is around us, those tools get buried or are forgotten. I like to see myself as a conduit for the person's change, evolution and healing. The way I work with clients is to help them find those tools within themselves-teach them new ways to use them in order to become healthy and stay healthy. I work with couples and individuals with a focus on women and women's issues.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. Health, Happiness, and Success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life - but what we do about what happens to us. Professional counseling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals. In my practice, I work with individuals at all stages on strategies to overcome obstacles and personal challenges that they are facing.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Are you looking for a private and relaxing atmosphere where you can receive individualized counseling for yourself? I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma in their lives.

APRIL-Accepting NEW Clients! Therapy is effective when clients feel safe, respected and understood within a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples in a variety of professional settings including the public school system, clinical, and private sectors. I work with individuals dealing with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and those dealing with everyday work, marriage, family, health, relationships, and other life stressors.

It takes strength and courage to begin something new; and with a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment, I believe that this is where it all begins. We're human and go through difficult times which can cause us much confusion and a need for guidance, hope, and support. I strongly believe that with an individualized, strength-based, and motivational approach, you can find a new direction and way of thinking to overcome the challenges that we are faced with in our everyday lives.

Twenty-five years into it, I still love being a counselor and psychotherapist. It is an honor and a privilege to be involved in the personal struggle and transformation of each client, couple, and family I see. I regard therapy more as an art than a science, though I certainly utilize current research in my practice. Most often my clients present problems in living rather than "mental illness" per se and they appreciate my attention to their strengths, resources, and spiritual concerns.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard and understood. Through empathetic listening, evidenced-based techniques, and collaborative goal-setting, I assist clients in gaining insights, developing self-awareness, and building effective coping strategies. Together, we work towards overcoming challenges, promoting personal growth, and ultimately, achieving greater well-being and fulfillment in their lives.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, frustrated or angry? Does your family or relationship feel like it's coming apart? Do you or your children feel like you're losing control? Then you are caught up in life situations that are keeping you awake at night! These problems continue to resurface over and over again because we are unable to really understand how we can change ourselves and the way we think. "Our only block to personal happiness is our inability to access who we TRULY are."
