Client Testimonials

Eve 2025

Kimberly 2025

Kathy 2025

I have never heard of Attachment Styles before and your teaching last night was priceless to me.   For over 70 years my life has felt like a jigsaw puzzle, with the pieces scattered all over the floor, with no box or lid or a picture of the finished jigsaw!  I have spent decades trying alone to fit the pieces together - but none of them ever fitted...  However, after listening to this week's teaching some of the 'pieces' have finally fallen into place and, at last, I have been able to join them together...  How I wish I had heard your teaching years ago!  But, as you say "It's never too late!" I have learnt so much too from the other ladies in the group - their honesty, transparency, authenticity and vulnerability has been like a breath of fresh air and a privilege to hear. Thank you, Barbara, from the bottom of my heart.

 I wanted to share how incredibly helpful this group (and the first group!) has been for me! I have been able to use all your resources to begin to rebuild my sense of self. My people pleasing codependency is in the light now & I am determined to be the woman God created me to be, not what I think others want! If I hadn't found you & this group, I may have had a nervous breakdown not understanding my neurodiverse relationship. I thought I was alone, and finding other women trusting God through similar circumstances, and all of your resources and encouragement - has helped tremendously!

 Being part of this group has already caused exponential growth in my faith, my understanding of my identity in Christ, the nature of Christ's love for us and the world,  and the work he has called me to in my marriage. I feel a strength and fierceness I have not felt before. I love my husband, I truly have forgiven him for the ways he has sinned and continues to sin against our family. But I have a better understanding what 'loving him well' entails. It is not for the faint of heart, but as the apostle Paul says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Phill. 4:13)

I have participated in three groups with Barbara, including the Cassandra Recovery group, and also had one-on-one counsel with her. She has been extremely valuable to me as I learn how to navigate the challenges of a neurodiverse marriage. It's hard to find truly Spirit-filled counselors for Christian wives in these kinds of marriages, and I am grateful to God for Barbara and her expertise in neurodiverse couples counseling, which emphasizes healthy boundaries that bless.

I was just talking to one of my oldest friends with honesty about my divorce and the challenges I faced with my ex. Recounting the painful experiences of his shaming and blaming behavior was exhausting. However, it was also empowering, clearly affirming my need to leave. The work Barbara and I did in my journey with the Cassandra Recovery group helped me confront the false guilt and blame that led to shame; it truly saved me. I began to set healthy boundaries that bless my life and stop taking responsibility for my ex’s choices. This transformative process set me on a trajectory towards freedom, and the insights gained from neurodiverse couples counseling were invaluable. Thank you!!

I believe this Cassandra Recovery group is incredibly beneficial for people who have been married to someone with ASD for a long time, as well as those who have recently entered into a marriage with a neurodiverse partner. Group coaching is also more cost-effective for me than private neurodiverse couples counseling. As someone who is new to understanding adults with autism and its impact on my marriage, I joined the group during a low point in my life. By the end of the experience, I felt empowered and equipped with resources that helped me improve myself and, consequently, my marriage. I gained a clearer understanding of which of my husband’s challenges were related to ASD and which were not. I also learned the importance of establishing boundaries that bless our relationship and began to set better expectations for my marriage. Now, I feel more secure in who I am within our partnership.

Hope for Cassandra Syndrome

8 Steps to Cassandra Recovery

1. Establish Safety & Validation: Establishing emotional safety is paramount. For women experiencing Cassandra Syndrome, feeling validated within a supportive community that truly comprehends their journey is empowering. Recognizing that personal experiences and perceptions are valid, even if others might not understand, paves the way for healing. Over the years, I've witnessed the therapeutic power of collective healing. Surround yourself with empowering communities that validate and uplift your experience.


2. Gain Clarity: Navigate the Neurodiverse Maze: Do you feel caught in a loop of miscommunication and misunderstanding? Ambiguities and doubts can exacerbate emotional distress. Uncover steps to sidestep relationship pitfalls and gracefully break free from cyclical struggles. Specifically, tailor strategies to enhance communication within neurodiverse relationships. Learn and practice new ways to communicate needs, feelings, and boundaries more effectively, recognizing and respecting differences in communication styles.


3. Understand Your Emotions: Do overwhelming emotions leave you feeling powerless? Become familiar with the messages behind heavy emotions, finding peace even amidst the storm. Transform anger, resentment, and grief with innovative energy techniques. A crucial aspect of healing is profoundly comprehending one's emotions, whether anger, grief, guilt, or shame. Recognizing these emotions provides a platform to develop strategies for release and transmutation. Are you struggling to identify how to best respond to your triggers to reduce emotional and mental anguish? Shine a light on what triggers you for your healing purposes, decipher patterns between you and your partner, and chart a course to resolution.


4. Reflect on the Future of Your Relationship: Are you uncertain about the future of your relationship? Are you facing a crossroads in your relationship and seeking clarity on which direction honors your well-being? Engage in reflective decision-making processes, utilize tools for evaluating the potential for relationship improvement, and prepare for various outcomes with realistic expectations. Explore your deepest needs and desires to clarify the best path forward, whether nurturing the bond or finding peace in part ways.


5. Nourish Yourself: Self-care is the cornerstone of well-being. It's essential to safeguard your energy, set clear boundaries, and establish a vision that resonates with your core values. This reinforces your mental and emotional fortitude and is a preventive measure against psychosomatic ailments. Nurture Your Spiritual Essence: I've seen the profound shifts that spiritual connection can bring over the years. Engage in practices that elevate and nourish your spirit, forging a bond with the ethereal realms of existence. Cultivate a Holistic Self-Care Ritual: Consider crafting rituals that nourish your mind, spirit, and emotions. Guided meditations, perhaps interwoven with empowering affirmations, can be particularly effective. Honor Your Physical Vessel: The body holds memories, traumas, and joys. As a therapist, I emphasize the beautiful interplay between physical well-being and emotional resilience. Explore modalities like therapeutic movement or mindful practices to connect with your body deeply.


6. Heal Attachment Injuries: Are you curious if your emotional reactions have deeper roots? Mend attachment wounds and courageously step into your full potential. Engaging with your authentic self and addressing past traumas can prevent these experiences from overshadowing your future. You can reclaim your agency and prevent past traumas from dictating your future by healing attachment wounds. With professional guidance, I encourage you to tenderly unravel these memories, offering yourself the compassion you so deserve.


7.  Rediscover and Reclaim Your Sense of Self: Have relationship challenges shaken your sense of self, leading to a loss of identity and direction? Feeling lost in your sense of self amidst the challenges of your relationship? Learn to rediscover your strengths, reclaim your identity, and embrace your identity with newfound confidence. Rediscover meaning and purpose, and a passion project.


8. Turn Adversity into Empowerment: Adversity, while daunting, can be transformed into a profound catalyst for personal and relational growth. You can make informed decisions that foster constructive change by embracing a comprehensive roadmap or guiding principles. This process involves engaging in actions aligned with heart-brain coherence, allowing you to transform challenges into stepping stones for empowerment. In doing so, you pave the way for your own healing and growth and create an environment that nurtures your partner's well-being. Together, you can craft a future rooted in purpose, one that harmonizes with your deepest truths and supports the salvage and flourishing of your relationship. This journey toward empowerment is not just about navigating the present; it's about laying the foundation for a relationship that thrives on mutual understanding, respect, and well-being.


Key Pillars for Support:

  • Warm Community: A nurturing environment that offers unconditional support and understanding.
  • Empathic Guidance: Compassionate expert, professional guidance that resonates and aligns with individual experiences.
  • Alignment Process: A structured process that harmonizes emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.

    The overarching goal is clarity, healing, and empowerment.

These steps provide a comprehensive guide for those dealing with the unique challenges of being in a neurodiverse relationship, empowering them to heal and thrive in their journey. 


Drawing from my years of experience and the wisdom gained from facilitating my groups, I invite you on this transformative journey. Remember, while the path may be uniquely yours, you are enveloped in a community of understanding and support. Together, we heal. Together, we thrive.


I've facilitated eight group cohorts serving over 90 women thus far, leading to significant shifts - from feeling alone, exhausted, disempowered, and confused to reclaiming themselves, having clarity, and a path forward. My therapeutic community experience will help you feel supported wherever you are in this journey. 

My group is for you if:

  • You know or only suspect your partner is on the Autism spectrum (*Asperger's / *ASD Level1 / *High Functioning)
  • Whether or not you are in couples therapy (or coaching)  
  • Whether or not you are experiencing the classic Cassandra Syndrome, Ongoing Traumatic Relationship Stress, or Trauma Bond. 
  • You seek guidance, clarity, healing, and reclamation relative to your unique relationship.
  • Regardless of whether you or your partner have decided to stay, leave, or are undecided about your relationship
