Feeling stuck? Life can be hard sometimes. I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a psychotherapy that, unlike traditional talk-therapy, enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. As an EMDR trained therapist, I provide EMDR therapy to all ages to address stuck memories and help to reorganize past thoughts, feelings and memories that are related to a traumatic event that can oftentimes keep us hooked or stuck from moving forward in work & relationships, preventing us living our best lives. You are worth it and you ARE capable of healing!

We all face times when life can be difficult, and as a parent it can be overwhelming when we are looking for ways to try to help and support our children. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, families, and adults to help with any challenges that you may be facing. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, anger management, grief and loss, school issues, and addiction.

My goal as a therapist is to help my clients learn and implement the skills necessary for long-term results. I use a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called Rational Living Therapy and I am a Certified Rational Living Therapist. The foundational concept of RLT is that your emotions and behaviors are created by your thoughts, rather than your situations. This is a wonderful fact because you can learn to change your thoughts to improve how you feel, even if your situation does not change. By the conclusion of your time in therapy you will have gained the rational self-counseling skills to essentially be your own Therapist.

Hello. I have over 20 yrs of clinical experience with children, teens, and adults. I grew up in central Pennsylvania and attended Penn State for undergraduate schooling. I then earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Central Michigan University and later a masters degree in Psychopharmacology from Argosy University. I also completed a two year fellowship in Clinical Child Psychology to work with children, teens, and families. I enjoy working with all age groups. Whether you are a parent wanting support for your child or teenager or an adult I would be happy to help you.

As a parent, it can be painful to see your child unhappy, worried, or struggling, especially when you aren't sure how to make things better. While our experienced therapists don’t have magic wands, we do have the training, tools, and experience to help your child and family find your way. We have offices in Carlisle and Chambersburg. Telehealth is available to clients living within 30 minutes of either office.

Downtown Counseling Center (DCC) has specialty trained providers whose mission is to provide an individually tailored therapy experience to address the concerns of our clients. Our providers use empirically supported, research based interventions to help children, adolescents, adults or families reach treatment goals.

Are you having difficulty making decisions, expressing your emotions, or struggling to improve your personal relationship(s)? Working toward change can be challenging. I view the therapeutic alliance as a collaborative and empowering process best accomplished when the client feels safe to explore and challenge current mal-adaptive cognitive and behavioral patterns. This is accomplished through a variety of therapeutic techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral, Reality, and Rogerian dispositions. Evenings preferred.

When I started working in mental health I discovered how many therapists shy away from treating trauma survivors. Because of this, many clients have difficulty finding a trauma informed therapist. I decided to dedicate my career to working with those who have been neglected by caregivers, romantic partners, and medical professionals. Anyone who has experienced trauma understands how it can impact every part of their life and make it difficult to trust anyone again. My clients are incredibly diverse, but all hope to create and maintain healthy boundaries that deepen connection with others as they learn to identify safe relationships.

It's hard to make the tough decision to come to therapy! By the time you've gotten to this point, your pain is serious, and you long to be heard and understood, to figure things out and to feel whole and XXXXX again. We love making a difference in clients' lives, helping them to gain insight and work through difficult issues with the aim of enhancing the quality of their experiences. We know you are brave, and we also know how to help you feel better.

When life seems to be getting the best of you, stop and take the time to get a fresh perspective. Overwhelmed by transition issues, individual personal struggles, relational tensions, family issues, or a more chronic condition, like Depression, Anxiety or OCD, help is only a phone call away. Recognizing your need and reaching out is the hardest part. You're half way there and you are not alone. Together we will identify barriers and build skills that will allow you to continue your journey with tools to address life's common challenges.

I am passionate about assisting others in developing a deeper understanding of themselves and am dedicated to helping my clients lead productive, well-balanced, emotionally enriched lives.

I am a resident clinician who has worked in community mental health for more than 10 years in environments as varied as hospice care, juvenile group homes, sexual assault crisis support, and justice-involved individuals. I was raised in a working-class home in northern California and became involved in politics, environmental activism, and community organizing at a young age. These experiences complement my formal education in behavioral science and social work, focusing on clinical therapeutic applications with clients identifying with LGBTQ+, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and ‘geek’ culture.

Are you finally ready to do the work and want to try a more integrative approach. Are you tired of cookie cutter approaches that aren't enough. Ready to get off the merry-go-round and stop telling and retelling that same stories that are keeping you stuck. The road ahead of you will be challenging, but I will navigate this terrain with you. Brainspotting is a somatic/body/brain based approach, and is my favorite intervention to use. I'd love to meet you and give you a small taste of what it is like to work with me, and see if you might be willing to work on you. Call me or schedule a free consultation from my website.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Pacific Graduate School of Professional Psychology-Palo Alto.

Do fears about the future or regrets from the past impact your well-being? Are you longing for more meaningful relationships and deeper connection with others? Do you wish to change certain behaviors having a negative impact on your life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are one step closer to making changes and feeling better. For over 20 years, I have helped numerous individuals overcome past hurts, live authentic and joyful lives in the present and feel optimistic about their future.

It's been my experience that people usually seek therapy when they have tried everything they know to improve their life and it's just not working. Clients are often quite desperate when they enter therapy. I believe my job as a therapist is to give people new options for what to do to make things better. I try to help with kindness and humor, drawing on a wealth of knowledge, information, and experience to help my clients achieve their goals, whatever they may be. I am continually awed by the amazing ability of the human spirit to grow, heal, and develop.

I use cognitive behavior therapy. It is appropriate for a wide range of conditions. I have excellent results in treating anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and depression. I use a modified cognitive behavior therapy when treating couples. The therapy has been quite effective when treating couples. I have also been effective using hypnotherapy.

I work with clients suffering from CPTSD, depression or anxiety. My focus is on helping people process and move through old issues by eliminating the emotions attached to those events by using EFT or Energy Psychology which I've been using for 22 years. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience and that you should look forward to that healing process. I also use hypnosis for numerous issues.

Accepting New Clients! No one told us that being an adult is so hard. There are so many ups and downs, responsibilities, bills to pay and people counting us. Work stress, personal stress, it can be tough just getting through the day. Do you have problems with depression, anxiety or past traumas that just make life harder. Sometimes we get so caught up in day-to-day life that we forget to stop and take care of ourselves. Maybe it’s time to stop and re-assess your situation, and start working on making some positive changes in your life. Asking for help is the first step.
