Shouldn’t I always strive for more and be my best?
If I am not perfect, then what am I?
What are some strategies that one can use on a daily basis to increase realistic thoughts and decrease perfectionist thoughts?

Before Barbara began her career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she spent 10 years as a freelance make-up artist and marketing manager in the cosmetic/health and beauty industry.

During her time at The Reiss Davis Child Study Center, Barbara also worked as a Clinician at UCLA Hospital in Santa Monica. There she worked with hospital patients struggling with issues of postpartum depression, anxiety, homelessness and chronic illness.
Upon completion of her fellowship, Barbara accepted a position as a School-Based Therapist with The Help Group at their Summit View and Village Glen campuses. During her four-year tenure, she worked with children and adolescents diagnosed with anxiety, depression, behavior issues, developmental delays, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
