Hi there, I'm Barbara!
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 46181). I have been licensed for many years. I focus on helping my clients make their lives work better for them, whether they are functioning at a high level or just barely functioning. Let me tell you a little bit more about myself.
My focus
Having been both a client and a therapist, I understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive counseling environment. I have worked mostly with adults/couples. I feel very comfortable dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, communication, parenting (15 yrs experience as a family court counselor), and relationship problems.
My approach
My primary approach is cognitive behavioral therapy. I may also include some humanistic/psychodynamic strategies, whatever works best for each person. Focusing on change rather than understanding the blocks in our lives can sometimes be most effective. Whatever the approach, I strive to ensure clients are getting what they need from therapy.
