Barbara’s mindfulness-based approach helps clients understand the influence of past experiences and how difficult emotions can be transformed into catalysts for change. Clients learn to tap into the strength and fundamental goodness of their spirit as a resource for recovery. "What do you care about?" "What do you want to be?" "Are you truly directing yourself toward what is worthwhile and meaningful to you?"

Barbara’s counseling emphasizes that self-compassion and the development of faith in the power and goodness of one’s soul are key to wellness and happiness.These principles, combined with traditional psychological methods, have proven most effective in areas such as depression management, trauma therapy, relationship counseling, and addiction treatment.
