I have been a school counselor and in private practice as a therapist for 18 years. My specialties in treatment are working with children with using play therapy, teenagers, and adults. I believe that seeking counseling can be a hard thing to do, and I see my job as a therapist to encourage and invite all individuals who need help to feel comfortable when we meet and start our path toward healing together as partners. I have experience in treating individuals who may have ADD/ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, family problems, divorce, trauma, and many more treatment needs. My treatment depends on the individual, but I have experience in play therapy for children, cognitive behavioral therapy for teens and adults, self awareness, and family conflict. I will respect you as an individual and do whatever I can to help you start toward a path of healing.

My experience with Barbara has been very helpful and pleasant. She is responsive, makes me feel heard, and offers tools to help me. I have hit some dark points and she has always been there to help me through those tough points. I highly recommend her and Better Help. You just can't beat the quality, convenience, and price.
