You work in high stress, high burnout fields. You love being the strong one, the one others rely on, pushing through everything. But you're wondering how much longer you can hold it together when it feels like your relationships, your life, are coming apart. You may feel like a failure, asking for help yourself. But you're not willing to give up on your goals for your life and those relationships that are so important.

I work with adults, families, adolescents and elementary-aged children. I also provide supervision for pre-licensed therapists. I offer in person sessions in Chambersburg, PA. My style of therapy is trauma-focused but is guided by you and your goals. Clients tell me I am easy to talk with and seem relaxed during conversation. It is important to me that you feel comfortable, liked, and valued. I believe that every person is the expert about themselves. I also believe that you already have everything you need to succeed. Our job together is to locate and hone your skills.

We are a small, private psychological practice providing services in both the Carlisle and Chambersburg areas. We are passionate about our work. We view our therapeutic relationship as the medium in which change happens, allowing your time spent in therapy to be beneficial and worthwhile for you and/or your child. We work with a variety of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, situational stress, childhood trauma, grief/loss, behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders as well as perinatal health.

Do you find that your mood is affecting your ability to actually enjoy life? Are you struggling to take time for yourself? Maybe you’re a parent of young children in the “giving” years of life and in desperate need of a break. Maybe you’re in the midst of a life transition and are battling self doubt and a relentless inner critic. Maybe something from your past is holding you back, affecting your trust in yourself and others. Together, in therapy, we can address your stress and overwhelm, process your emotions, challenge your thoughts, and heal from past trauma.

We all get stuck sometimes, whether it be with making an important decision or simply in unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families recognize unhelpful patterns and work towards becoming "unstuck." People often bear the symptoms of what is going on around them and these symptoms become visible as depression, anxiety, etc. I enjoy helping individuals, couples and families to become the best that they can be and to have the best relationships that they can have.

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.

If your emotions feel overwhelming, and they're trying to signal you that they need your attention, I am here to help you. I provide a safe, comfortable space to explore who you are and work with you to provide a better understanding of you. I am here to help you learn to identify and access your feelings. I offer encouragement to help you get to your goals. With me, you can speak openly and fully about your anxieties and fears. I'd love to help you find your purpose in life by helping you recognize your strengths.

Hello! I know it may seem a bit overwhelming and scary right now as you try and find someone to help you. Take a breath. Pause. I'm here for you. Your journey is one of the utmost important things and I would be honored to be part of your journey. I bring energy, warmth, and compassion to travel on the journey with you.

My goal in counseling is to help individuals find healing, wholeness, and peace in the midst of life's journey. I will walk with you where you are and as you are with compassion, empathy, and without judgment or condemnation. With 25 years of clinical experience, I am equipped to offer education, coping skills, and strategies that are designed to provide you with help, encouragement, and support as you navigate life challenges and stressors. My Relational, Strength-Based approach to counseling is designed to instill hope, empowerment, and restoration for the individual, family system, and couple.

Sometimes life gives us challenges and you may feel like nobody understands you. We want to help ease those feelings and assist you in developing strategies using your strengths. We specialize in working with people who are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, difficult transitions such as divorce and family issues and those dealing with trauma. We also specialize in teenagers who have behavior disorders and difficulties in the school setting.

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.

"CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOU CHANGE YOUR WORLD" – NORMAN VINCENT PEALE - Willing to seek answers is one of the first steps in healing the soul. The most resilient individuals have traveled through the Darkness. Knowing your strengths will help you explore options for change.

I find joy in working with children and teens because of their curiosity and wonder. We can all learn from their fresh perspective and ability to find happiness in the little things. Further special interests include grief, women’s issues, and interpersonal trauma.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing therapy for 17 years.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, attachment disorders, trauma, chronic pain, firesetting, anger, and problem sexual behaviors. I believe people are resilient and worthy of support and self-care. I invite you to chat with me about your treatment goals in a welcoming and judgement-free environment.

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.

I provide each individual the opportunity to enter their own unique path towards healing and growth. Through a safe and therapeutic relationship, individuals, couples, or families are assisted in confronting the obstacles and difficulties which have kept their lives from reaching full potential. Specialties include marriage counseling, emotional problems, life/career transitions, self-improvement and relationship issues.
