Clients come to me mostly in times of life transition, both as individual and as a partner/family member, with a focus on various areas of concern, such as depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and work-related issues. I am a PhD level Marriage and Family Therapist, with over a decade of experience working with adult clients, providing individual, couple and family therapy. I've taught and provided clinical supervision at University level.
I am a collaborative therapist, working from a strengths-based approach. My goal is to facilitate this journey with you through the creation of a safe space. I currently offer teletherapy services only - individual, couple, and family therapy (for adults), as well as premarital counseling. I am licensed in DC, MD, and KS.
Seeing individuals and couples move forward in their lives and relationships, despite the challenges that bring them into therapy, is definitely an honor.

I went through a PhD program with Dr. Barros. She always asked insightful questions that got to the root of the problems & never seemed phased by surprises. She is a safe & steady person, and I would happily refer my friends and family to her for therapy.
