From Surviving to THRIVING
Trauma is the response to experiences where your sense of safety feels threatened and you're left feeling broken, helpless, and voiceless.
Trauma is almost always an underlying cause of various mental health conditions. Unhealed trauma can show up as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Eating disorders
- Personality or mood disorders
- Physical illness
- Codependency
- and other symptoms

Hi, I'm Barbara.
My therapeutic approach is gentle and person-centered, believing that when given a non-judgmental, safe, and healing environment, individuals have the capability of finding resources among themselves to heal.
My approach is also psychodynamic which is identifying forces that underlie human behavior, feelings, and emotions and how they might relate to early experience. As an objective partner, I can help identify problematic issues and assist with development of coping skills and healing. I’ve named my practice Tranquility Counseling because I hope to help my clients learn about mindfulness so that they may enter a space of peacefulness, calm, and safety – even amidst chaotic times.
