Barbara is a licensed professional counselor in private practice whose style is strengths-based, collaborative, and eclectic; and whose ultimate purpose is to help facilitate emotional balance and a sense of well-being for her clients. Barbara works especially well with adults who crave long-lasting relief from the lingering effects of trauma (recent or remote past), who welcome help and guidance in the management of anxiety, and who wish to rebuild and experience healthy relationships from the inside out. Barbara is an EMDRIA certified therapist and an EMDR Consultant-in-Training. Her passion for EMDR stems from personal and professional experiences, and she delights with her clients when they move from a dysfunctional “old tape” to more functional “new tape”. Thanks to this deep awakening and awareness of healthier thoughts and beliefs about themselves, clients experience the world differently as a result of this empowering change. Barbara takes great pleasure in providing EMDR consultation to both groups, and to individual EMDR novice clinicians to help them hone their unique style when it comes to successfully utilizing their EMDR skills. In addition to her private practice and EMDR consulting, Barbara is on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Sandplay Therapy Association; is the co-host for monthly Wellness Webinars; and regularly speaks at local, state, and national events.

The expansiveness of the ocean inspires me! Breathing in and breathing out. Relishing the wind, the sea salt taste in the air, the blue sky and billowing white clouds. the sound of the nearby seagulls.

Sending you spacious breath.
