ABOUT
hi, i’m barbara
Whether you’re a couple struggling to reconnect or an individual dealing with depression, anxiety, or relational challenges, I am here to help. I am a graduate of Wellesley College and Boston University School of Medicine, with over 15 years of clinical experience. I specialize in couples’ communication, conflict resolution, infidelity recovery, relational discernment, divorce, conscious uncoupling, and addressing sexual issues. My extensive training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy and The Developmental Model for Couples. As a certified premarital counselor, I prepare couples for a successful journey together. For individuals, I focus on managing anxiety, overcoming depression, and navigating relationship issues. Together, we will gain valuable insights, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and take actionable steps towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
background
In addition to my clinical experience & extensive training, my personal journey as a partner in a 28-year marriage and as a parent to 2 adult children profoundly enriches my understanding of others. This lived experience deepens my empathy; enhances the authenticity of my therapeutic relationships and ensures a meaningful and transformative therapeutic experience.
mission
I believe that a key factor in achieving successful therapeutic outcomes is fostering a safe, trusting, and respectful collaboration that addresses the whole person—emotional well-being, physical health, career, relationships, and overall life satisfaction. I am deeply passionate about my work and feel privileged to assist clients in healing, growing, and finding acceptance and peace on their life’s journey. My commitment is to support each individual in their pursuit of a balanced and fulfilling life.
Thank you for reading my story, and I hope to speak with you soon!
