Dr. Barb is a skilled instructor of social communication and social learning. She is an alumna of the Social Thinking® Clinical Training Program in San Jose, California, where she trained directly with Michelle Garcia Winner and Dr. Pamela Crooke. Dr. Barb incorporates this training into her Social Stars groups, helping children and teens strengthen the social learning and self-awareness skills essential for everyday interactions. These small-group sessions support individuals who may struggle with social communication, perspective-taking, emotional regulation, and understanding the “hidden rules” of social situations.
Dr. Barb’s groups help participants develop practical strategies for:
- Understanding others’ thoughts and feelings
- Navigating peer relationships
- Reading social cues and context
- Managing emotions and social anxiety
- Improving conversation and collaboration skills
Dr. Barb’s groups are tailored by age and developmental level. They are ideal for individuals with social learning challenges.
She offers both in-person and virtual group options to meet your family’s needs.
