More about Barbara
- 19 years' experience
- Female
- LCMHC
I have worked in various mental health settings through the years, primarily serving individuals who have experienced trauma, adversity, grief, depression, and anxiety. Serving the mental health needs of all community members is very important to me and the reason why I have become a strong advocate for equitable care for everyone. My compassion for people, years of working in demanding environments, and close connections to the military have allowed me to easily make connections and support others in their journey.
