LisaSH, your new handlebars

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Sandra, from looking at your bike, I would suggest you start by moving your saddle as far BACK (yes, back) on its rails as you can, and go to the LBS where you bought it (or to any good LBS) and ask to get a slightly shorter stem. Your stem looks to me to be about a 9 and I think a 7 might help a lot. Find out what size you have now- I might not be seeing it right and you might have a 7 on there already. But it looks longer than a 7 to me. Don't be tempted to get a stem shorter than a 7 as it will definitely make your steering wobbly like what happened to me. I went from a 9 to a 5 to a 7 stem, which is now just right.
When you have the stem switched you might want to have them put on a Salsa Poco handlebar- that will help as well.
Pushing the saddle back will make you bend a bit more, lengthening your reach, and also it will pull your center of gravity back a bit and take some of the weight off your hands. Sounds counter-intuitive I know, but my DH explained it well and it worked REALLY well for me.

Paying a good bike shop $100 or so to fit you is a good idea actually. Insist on having the most knowledgeable person there make an appt with you for a thorough fit session. Find out which bike shops have fitting trainer machines (is that what they are called?) that might take measurements of you while you pedal.

Others may make different or better recommendations than I did....I'm no expert.

Again- can you describe your symptoms in detail that make you think your reach is too long? What exactly do you feel on your bike, what's the problem(s)?
