About Barbara
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker, having practiced since 1994. I have a Master’s in Social Work from an accredited program. Further, I have advanced training in Family Systems. I have worked with various populations including adults, teenagers, and children. The areas of service include anxiety, mood issues, abuse and neglect, abandonment, mid-life issues, grief, chronic illness, trauma, attachment and adoption, trauma,
My therapy style is supportive, open, direct, and treating people with respect and compassion. My theory of practice is Family Systems, with additional theories deemed important to facilitate change.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and joyful life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
