With over 30 years of experience as a therapist, I offer a seasoned combination of wisdom, current relevance and flexible interventions. I have seen trends come and go in the fields of psychology and counseling, so I like to identify your particular needs and tailor treatment modalities to your unique circumstances and expectations. I enjoy helping people discover their true needs/desires and pursuing their dreams, potential and meeting their life goals.
I specialize in helping you overcome life's speed bumps - being stuck, restlessness, grief, depression, anxiety and trauma (I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional). I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, families and with partners/marriages. I have worked in multiple settings - inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, residential, in-home, private practice and, of course, virtual! My "pet topics" are neuropsychology, PTSD/ADHD and media psychology. My pioneering work with online counseling in the 90s (pre-Google!) was featured on Oprah's network and in Glamour Magazine, so I come to you with the highest of standards in the field.
I typically use cognitive-behavioral therapy, skills-building from dialectical-behavioral therapy and neurotherapy (teaching about how your mind-body chemicals spur your feelings which lead to thoughts, behaviors and habits). I believe that people change when they're ready - my goal is to help you get ready to change and then to support you through change. You know you can't directly change others, but you CAN change yourself - and by doing so, you help change the world for the better, one step at a time.
And it all starts with you!
Let's create a treatment plan that is both realistic and challenging for you - one that involves a precise balance of safety and risk, comfort and courage. My clients say I'm easy and fun to work with because of the combination of my personality, professional and personal experience...and thus I use a balanced combination of compassion, reality and humor...and because I'm real.
Change is hard enough - why not make it fun, meaningful and enjoy the journey?
I look forward to working with you!
Ready? Set....Grow!!

Barbara is an excellent therapist! She's been incredibly helpful. When we speak I truly feel heard and she's given me advice that I hold close to my heart and use regularly to help me in difficult times. She's kind, warm and I can tell she takes time to really understand where I'm coming from in her responses. She also provides useful prompts/worksheets which I find helpful. I highly recommend her if you are hesitant about therapy whatsoever. She was the second therapist I've ever had and my first experience didn't work out. She really gave me new hope and my only wish is that I'd started sessions with her sooner. If you're reading this, it's time. Barbara's got your back.

just one session , and the one step i took was hard. but i took it. and really for the first time. i think i knew the step was there, but something Barbara said gave me the confidence to take it. there is no explanation , or thanks big enough, when a stranger you only talked to once, just might be the reason I am still married, and want to stay that way. Her understanding of the autistic spectrum is tangable. really no words.

Barbara is an amazing counselor! Since the very first session I was impressed by her ability to ask just the right questions and get to the point as well as offering hands-on exercises to practice at home in between sessions. She really made me feel at my ease and I appreciated that she was able to connect deeply with me and speak my own language (e.g. metaphors related to ballet) :-) We have been working on so many areas of my life including: violence, abuse, low self-esteem, life major changes, depression and suicidal thoughts, anxiety, overthinking, false self, sexual identity, orgasmic dysfunction, family issues, professional identity, empowerment, minor health issues... Counselling has been valuable to change the way I think, consider new perspectives and get insights from a true professional!

Barbara is a great person. I have a serious relationship problem which I think I will never get over it or a very long time to recover. However, consulting with Barbara gives me a different point of view. Her knowledge, wisdom, empathy and patience are leading me out of this dark time. I strongly recommend Barbara when you have problems with relationship, especially break-up ones.

Barbara has been very helpful, asking good probing questions, and helping guide me through some challenging issues. She was always quick to respond, positive and upbeat, but realistic.

Barbara has been invaluable as a counselor. She has been able to provide not only an ear to vent my doubts, but a mouth to tell me that it is all part of who I am. I merely sought her initially to provide some reason for my thoughts, but she has given me tools to fight those terrible thoughts.
