Barb holds a Master of Science degree in Health Education and has extensive experience in the areas of mental health, health promotion, psychoeducation, family support, addiction recovery, psycho-social rehabilitation, and individual counselling. She is fluent in English and German.

Barb provides needs-based, goal-oriented support to individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, anger management, life transitions, chronic pain and illness, addictions, and crisis situations. She is passionate about supporting clients in developing self-awareness, emotional and somatic regulation skills, self-advocacy, problem-solving abilities, and personalized wellness plans that foster resilience and meaningful change.

Barb utilizes a solution-focused, neuroscience-based approach that is holistic (body-mind-spirit), collaborative, personalized, and trauma-informed. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, she tailors counselling to each client's unique goals, needs, and strengths. Her therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, eco-therapy, and somatic-based techniques.

Barb offers a non-judgmental and compassionate space where clients can reconnect with themselves and explore their inner strengths and resources. She believes that each person has the capacity for growth and healing and carries an inner wisdom that can be cultivated and activated through the counselling process.
