Let’s connect.

Hey, I’m Barbara, AKA Cool Aunt.
I’m a therapist, artist, and author with lived experience in the things my clients face–relationships ending, reinvention after loss, caring for children/parents, career transitions, and figuring out what makes them happy.
Therapy with me feels more like a thoughtful conversation than a clinical exam. Sound good? →
