My Approach/Our Work Together
I have a holistic approach to counseling which means I consider the mind, body, and spirit to be essential to well-being. We are all a part of groups such as our family, school, work, and community; therefore, no one can be viewed in isolation. We will work as a team to help you gain different perspectives and solutions.

Good afternoon Barbara, I am writing to express my sincere thanks for your help and understanding during the many times I met with you. I want to bring you up to date on where I am now. After I stopped seeing you, I thought I was much better, but sadly, I was wrong. Barbara has such a gift in listening and putting things in perspective I admire that and appreciate all that she has done for me.
Family Counseling
The purpose of family therapy is to focus on the family as a system and to assist the family to be in a healthier place so that all members can communicate better and be respectful toward one another. Encouraging and compassionate interventions can help the family reach their full potential and help the all family members strive to be the best they can be.
Individual Counseling
I have observed that many people who make the courageous decision to come to a counselor feel that their old strategies are not working for them anymore. People have a tendency to feel like a failure. We as humans all face challenges during our lives. Counseling involves teaching people new ways to communicate and relate with your family, friends and co-workers.
Marriage Counseling
When working with marriage or relationship counseling clients it is vitally important for us to understand each individual's perspective in order to understand how your relationship functions. In marriage or couple's therapy, it is also imperative that each person's perspective is addressed since we all see the world in our unique ways.
Life Coaching
We all want to be happy, content, calm, balanced and lead a peaceful life. Unfortunately, our society places less emphasis on these values than on external monetary success, busyness, achievement and accomplishment. We spend more time 'doing' rather than 'being'. Consequently, our self-care, relationships and efforts to improve our culture are suffering.
