Working together
Your story. Your next step.
Counselling is a collaboration. Barb works with you to understand what feels difficult, explore the issues beneath the surface, and set reachable goals for constructive change. Her work brings together emotional regulation, healthier thought patterns, relationship skills, and reflection on your values and direction. There is also room to explore faith and spiritual formation.
