Barbara is trained and experienced in working with a variety of issues, including sexual addictions, unhealthy or unsatisfying relationships, low self-esteem, and overcoming the effects of physical/emotional/sexual abuse and trauma.

To help her clients cope with these challenges, to break free from old patterns of thinking and behaving, and to ultimately create a more fulfilled and balanced life, Barbara brings an eclectic style of therapy that incorporates EFT, sandtray, visualization, and other modalities. Barbara's work is grounded in respect, compassion, and hope.

While sometimes there is laughter and tears in the safety of this therapeutic alliance, there is inevitably personal growth and change.

I specialize in anxiety, grief and trauma and use a mind/body approach that will support you in taking action to effect the change you seek. I am skilled at knowing others and facilitating a process that deepens your self understanding and how to make changes in your life that yield new and adequate solutions to problems. Many people come to me after traditional talk therapy, wanting to explore a more interactive and experiential approach. I have a deep respect for the wisdom of the body; and I promote awareness of body, mind and spirit during sessions. Committed clients can work on core issues in an environment offering creativity and safety. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a board certified practitioner of psychodrama, sociometry and group psychotherapy. I have over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and groups.

I am a psychotherapist based out of Northern Colorado and I specialize in working with adults who have experienced or witnessed traumatic accidents & life changing injuries. These events can often alter your life in unexpected ways. It is my hope that I can help you navigate these changes in order to find yourself once again. Additionally I am able to work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief & loss, post-traumatic stress disorder, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, addictions, and substance abuse. As a psychotherapist I would describe myself as warm, caring, open minded, honest, inquisitive, and fearless. Additionally, I find that a sense of humor is necessary during the process of counseling. I use my life experience and ongoing professional training to ensure that I am able to support my clients.

I believe each of us possesses the strength to overcome life's challenges, but often we need extra guidance and new "tools" to get to a more fulfilling place. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help you create new pathways for growth, meaning, self-compassion, and a better understanding of your life experiences. As a Certified Holistic Health Coach and counseling student completing my MA at Regis University, I use a holistic, mind-body approach and a variety of techniques to best serve your individual needs. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, emotional eating, eating disorders, self-esteem, and conflict resolution.
