Who am I?

I’m Barbara—a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), mental wellness advocate, and founder of Mental Nesting. With a deep-rooted passion for supporting children, teens, women, and the LGBTQ+ community, I create trauma-informed content that’s designed to educate, empower, and uplift.

Grounded in my experience with person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and the body-mind connection, this space is a sanctuary for those navigating mental health, seeking self-understanding, or simply craving peace in a chaotic world.

Here, you’ll find accessible resources, honest reflections, and stigma-breaking conversations that honor your journey—wherever you are. My mission? To help you cultivate inner calm, break generational cycles, and wear the energy you want to attract—on your sleeve and in your spirit.
