About

Hi! My name is Barbara and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas. I have been practicing counseling for four years now in a variety of settings and with a wide range of people and concerns. I take a client-centered and wholistic approach in my practice, meaning that I will always put you and your needs first while also taking into account all of the possible factors that might be contributing to what you are going through and how you might be able to reach your goals.

I am a trauma-informed clinician and I am passionate about treating the underlying trauma that is often contributing to concerns such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and interpersonal issues. However, I know that it is not always easy to talk about the past and so I will always work with you at your pace and you will never feel rushed to work on something that you are not ready to talk about yet. I am a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) clinician and I have witnessed first-hand the powerful transformations that EMDR can create in clients when they are ready by helping them to process through negative memories and finally find peace from them. I am also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and can use this technique to help you better understand and change your thinking patterns that may be negatively impacting your life.

Reaching out for help is the hardest part, so you are already so brave for making it this far! I hope that I can help you in your unique journey toward personal growth and healing in whatever ways you may need. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
