Reclaim: The Journey Back to You
Virtual therapy in Michigan and Ohio
“But my childhood wasn’t that bad.”
It’s not about a label, or comparing your experiences to someone else’s.
Healing begins when you stop striving to be better and start listening to what hurt.
Perfectionism, overwhelm, people-pleasing, avoidance, reactivity, and control aren’t your personality — they are your protection.
Your hurtful childhood experiences, even the ones that seem “small,” shaped how you see yourself and others. Deep subconscious beliefs, unwritten family rules (like “Feelings are weak” or “We don’t allow anger in this house”), and survival strategies you developed to gain some measure of acceptance, love, or safety are all still alive in you. They are actively shaping how you react to your current circumstances and relationships.
Trauma isn’t what happened. It’s how what happened affected you.
MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Hi, I’m Barb.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Here is what is important to know about me:
I am someone who…
grew up believing that I was not enough
struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life
hid what it felt like to be me
tried therapy repeatedly and felt like a failure when it didn’t help
went through a painful divorce after a long marriage.
I’ve been there. This is personal for me.
I created Reclaim: You Were Always Enough out of my own experience. It’s a journey to remember your worth, to unlearn the old rules that kept you stuck, and to finally live from a place of truth instead of fear. Because you don’t need to earn love or prove your value — you only need to reclaim what was always yours.
Let me be your guide.
