About me

I am a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 15 years’ experience working with adults and children to overcome fears and challenges that keep them from living their best lives. I have worked with people dealing with a variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions. I have also helped people who have experienced domestic violence and emotional abuse to heal and find inner strength to move forward in their life. Much of my experience has been in university and community college counseling centers. I have also worked in the community mental health environment, domestic violence shelters, and in-patient adolescent facility.
Every person is wonderfully unique and comes with their own special qualities. In my counseling relationships, I listen to and respect my clients and am sensitive and compassionate to their unique set of needs and experiences. My counseling approach incorporates cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology and mindfulness. I want to provide an environment of support for you and work with you to gain insight and determine a plan of action that fits your needs.
I am always inspired by people who have the courage and strength to seek something better for their lives. Change can be challenging but is always worth the work. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey.
I look forward to working with you!

Even though my time and experiences with Barbara has not been long, I can say quite strongly, that she makes mee feel very at ease when communicating the concerns, issues and feelings I have. I always feel very comfortable in chatting with her and do not feel that there is nothing I could not say without confidence knowing that she takes the time to hear and listen which makes me feel just that much more happier, eager and accepting of her comments in trying to help
