You may have found yourself here because something isn’t working anymore. Whether in your relationship, your job , or negative thoughts that you can’t seem to redirect, it may feel like your typical coping skills or support systems aren’t enough. That’s ok. Take a breath and know that untangling this right now is not something you have to do alone. In my practice, I work with adults navigating interpersonal relationships, career stress, self-esteem and personal growths. I have experience with eating disorders, substance abuse, and trauma, and a special interest in working with the unique struggles of creative and performing artists.

I am a clinical psychologist with expertise in treating a variety of life difficulties, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual issues, and career issues. I work well with a variety of clients, from adolescents, adults, parents to executives. I am compassionate, easy to talk to, and real.

My clients often see a reduction in symptoms and improvement early on in treatment.

I work with adults who want to live happier and more connected lives. Clients see me to alleviate anxiety and depression, navigate relationships, and adjust to transitions. As a former executive with an MBA, I have a particular interest in supporting women through career or relationship transitions, and guiding the balance of personal responsibilities. I see therapy not as a lifelong commitment but a helpful tool to develop insight through a collaborative, empathic, and supportive process. Clients leave energized and able to articulate, clarify, and achieve their goals.

You are emotionally intelligent and self-aware. Yet, you're confused and frustrated as to why the same personal and professional barriers keep showing up.

It's easy to feel defeated when you want change so badly but don't know where to start. You are not alone. Aimee Barr & Associates uses an interactive and holistic approach to understand your full psychological journey. You are unique, your treatment should be too.

Psychotherapy is fundamentally about discovering a deeper sense of personal meaning, greater self-understanding, and self-acceptance. It offers the possibility of coming into contact with a more enlivened state of being. Psychotherapy can help us move through life with a greater degree of freedom and flexibility, feeling more connected to ourselves and others along the way. My work is shaped by psychodynamic, existential, and holistic approaches. My complimentary background as a yoga therapist includes considerable training and expertise in embodiment and mindfulness practices, which I draw upon in my clinical work.

Sometimes normal life challenges like changing careers, becoming a parent or changes in relationships can contribute to difficult emotions and result in behavior that make us feel stuck, unproductive or even self-destructive. For many, these experiences also leave us feeling anxious, depressed and sometimes struggling with chronic physical conditions. Exploring how your current challenges relate to your temperament, past experiences and needs can give you the tools to feel better. I can provide the support and guidance needed to help you explore, develop awareness and make informed decisions you can feel confident about.

Do you struggle with stagnation in your relationship, career , or life in general? Do you feel held back by self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy or perfectionism? I am an LCSW specializing in the facilitation of the Daring Way(tm), a psychoeducational curriculum based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The method was developed to help people learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives. This highly experiential and interactive curriculum functions as a pathway to cultivating self-compassion, embracing vulnerability, developing shame-resilience, identifying our values, and living wholeheartedly.

For many of us, we weren't taught how to properly cope with depression and anxiety we experience which often times led to poor decision and even poorer coping skills. As a solution focused therapist I am skilled to provide you with specific tools to manage and decrease depression and anxiety through behavior therapy. In return, you can finally live the life you deserve, advance in your career , improve interpersonal relationships and focus on the things that makes you feel your best.

My practice is centered around the idea that everyone has a story to tell, and that by sharing and thinking about the constitutive elements of these stories they can reach the understanding of themselves they've been looking for. The goal of therapy is to make the unconscious conscious, as Freud said, and by looking at the narrative of your life we can create a framework for understanding how the issues you face have come about, and how you can address them in order to lead a fuller, more mindful and meaningful life.

I believe it’s a privilege to be part of a process that helps clients identify strategies that can lead to a more fulfilling life and uncover a greater sense of freedom and agency. I believe that therapy must involve exploring and integrating clients’ cultural context and identities in understanding their lived experiences and addressing their concerns. I have extensive experience working collaboratively with clients of diverse backgrounds to identify goals of treatment and explore meaningful, culturally relevant, psychodynamic and other innovative evidence-based interventions.

Seeking help opens the door of hope. As a psychologist and helping professional, I strive to make clients feel deeply listened to and seen by a caring person. A thorough understanding of where the other person is coming from and the fulfillment that comes when we reach that point of deep connection are priceless. My focus is on the client’s strengths and reframing problems to help inspire growth as I believe that positive lifestyle changes promote healing, optimal functioning, and wellness.

The focus of my practice is to help others overcome low self-esteem/confidence, relationship or interpersonal issues, a sense of disconnection, difficulties with school or career , "impostor syndrome," and the pressures of starting a family. These issues often entail finding a helpful way to cope with anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficult emotions.
