More about Barbara
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I work with individuals seeking meaningful change through an empathic, direct, and validating therapeutic relationship. As a recovering woman, I believe in the power of lived experience and the strength we all carry within us. My approach is non-judgmental and rooted in helping clients recognize their strengths, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward their goals. I bring a “never give up” attitude and believe that even in moments of hopelessness, joy is still possible.
