Let’s connect.
Hey, I’m Barbara, AKA Your Cool Aunt.
I’m a 60+ year-old therapist, artist, and author with lived experience in the kinds of things my clients face (relationships ending, reinvention after loss, caring for children/parents, career transitions, figuring out what makes you happy) with expertise in communication, intimacy, and creativity.
Therapy with me feels more like a thoughtful conversation than a clinical exam. Sound good? →
