“Mental illness is far more common than many realize, and we've all faced challenges, stress or adversity at some point or another. I want my patients to know that they are not alone, and help is available. It is an honor and privilege to be a resource to those experiencing emotional pain, and I always strive to make sure my patients feel understood, accepted and empowered throughout their work with me.”
Barker is trained in counseling psychology with specialization in family psychology and relationship dynamics. She has clinical interests in grief and loss, trauma and attachment, healthy interpersonal boundaries, supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and perinatal mental health.
When not caring for patients, Barker enjoys traveling, live music, practicing yoga, spending time with loved ones, thrift shopping, as well as playing cribbage, trivia and other party games.
