Barton Behavioral Health Solutions, PLLC

Meet the other BBHS Team Members!

My Philosophy

Therapy can work for you, if you are willing to work in therapy!

You'll find that CBT is practical, down-to-basics, and is focused on the here-and-now.  I often ask my clients, "What can you do this very afternoon to improve your life?"

That's what CBT is all about:  Putting you in control of your life and helping you make improvements--Today!
