CREDENTIALS

EXPERIENCE

Hi, I'm Barrie.

Born an eternal optimist, I know that everyone on the planet is entitled to an incredible life no matter what circumstances they have faced, or are facing. The only difference between the people who get to have the life they want, and those who don’t are that happy people have learned how to manage their belief systems and emotions in a positive and productive way.

 

Understanding is power.  Once you grasp that your personal beliefs create your emotions, and that those emotions cause your behaviors, you’re then in a position to transform your life.

 

Similar to updating a computer's old operating system to gain maximum function, we need to update our old ways of thinking as well. What is so exciting about this information is that outdated and negative beliefs can be reframed and changed into healthy and positive ones. That's how you create a great life.

 

For the past 30 years, my personal quest has been to find the most transformative tools, skills and techniques to create a healthy, joyful and abundant life.

 

When I turned 50 I decided to add more skills to my transformational toolbox. I went back to school to get a masters degree as an Advanced Clinical Therapist at Columbia University's School of Social Work. This incredible school taught me how to use the most up-to-date educational and evidence-based techniques in my private practice.

​

Every person is unique, and I weave together various methods that will work for you. I have a keen sense for helping you choose the best methods to achieve your goals. Whether we decide to use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness skills, role play or Rapid Transformation Therapy (RTT), or any combination of the above, your life will be transformed.
