Hi! I’m Barbara!
I’m completing my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University this December and will begin a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of Holy Cross in January. I also hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. My background blends psychology, education, and writing, and I’ve been teaching since 2001, from classroom instruction to undergraduate courses in counseling theories.
I work with students from middle school through college, as well as adult learners. For writing students, I guide idea development, build strong structure, and support clear, confident writing across essays, research papers, literary analysis, and coursework. For psychology students, I break down complex theories, strengthen academic writing, and refine APA formatting. I also help applicants craft personal statements and statements of purpose, including for graduate programs in counseling and psychology.
My tutoring style is warm, encouraging, and strengths-based. I meet you where you are, tailor each session to your goals, and help you connect big ideas to your own experiences. Together, we’ll build both your skills and your confidence.
