Find a Therapist in Carlisle, PA

I create a comfortable and casual environment while we discuss some of the most challenging concerns you bring to therapy.

Hello, I am an LPC who is passionate about supporting all my clients through current stressors until growth and healing occurs. I listen, process the desire, and utilize the best theoretical approach in efforts to gain measurable success. The desire to help through listening and establishing reasonable goals. What drives me are the passionate individuals who are self-aware regarding change.

Accepting new clients- Life is hard. Most of us want to think that it gets easier but that only occurs when our skills (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual) improve. Therapy is the perfect place to learn and practice new skills while getting the encouragement to make it through life's toughest moments. And I am ready for you. I work with all clients and specialize in the BlackBrown communities, LGBTQ population, couples, and adolescents. I value intersectionality, solutions-focused work, and holistic practices. I specialize in following therapies: cognitive-behavioral, play, solutions-focused & strengths based. I value & support parent educationcounseling especially as parents navigate through the school system while raising a child with mental health concerns. I strongly value a holistic & organic approach to mental health progress. As a Counselor in an urban setting, I understand the time and transportation constraints that many clients may face. Therefore, I am able to provide on-site services (in-home andor confidential setting) or in my office.

I work from a strong attachment base, holding the belief that growth occurs when we feel valued and understood. I work with individuals and their families towards living more connected lives. I view each client and their emotional support system from a perspective of competence and strength.

As a clinician, I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is rooted in empathy and a person-centered philosophy, meaning I meet each individual exactly where they are in their journey. I believe healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and genuine connection. I specialize in helping clients process trauma using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), supporting individuals as they work through complex, life-impacting experiences. In addition to trauma work, I provide compassionate care for those navigating grief, depression, and anxiety. I work with adolescents, teens, and adults, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking to better understand yourself, I am here to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and respect.

I provide a client-centric approach that leans into compassion so you can feel safe and secure. Through this space, we can get curious and explore areas where you feel stuck or wounded. From here, we can help you shift toward greater health and wellness. At its core, my work focuses on your relationships, including how they impact you and how you impact them. This helps us both widen our understanding and pinpoint areas of concern.

Do you have the same fights? Does anything ever get resolved? Do you long for a simpler time when things were better between you and your partner? Do you talk only about logistics and the kids? Are you roommates and want to be lovers? Do you feel alone even though you are surrounded? Are you stuck in your relationship? I understand. I've helped numerous couples learn new skills, develop a better process for resolving differences and navigating life so that .... at minimum, you like each other at the end of the day. In my work, I include individual and couples therapy and add group therapy when the time is right. With this 360-degree view of each individual in the couple, the patient is able to see their self-defeating patterns and practice new skills in couples and groups to become a better partner. I also work with individuals in their work roles in a similar fashion.

Our approach is first and foremost to offer acceptance and understanding. Our clinicians have a variety of theoretical orientations and approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, play therapy, attachment-based therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and interpersonal therapy. All of us have training and experience with a family systems approach to therapy and are able to integrate this into our work.

My goal is for you to leave our therapy sessions feeling strong, empowered and more confident than you came in. I've seen far too many clients walk through their lives feeling aimless and uncertain about their lives and where they are going. I'm here to help you fix that. My style is hands-on and solution focused. I believe counseling is a service and that service is meant to help you find ways to change your life for the better. I want you to leave our sessions together knowing that you have control over your life even though you've come to believe that you do not. However, none of that can happen without a strong and meaningful therapeutic relationship. I've worked with such an array of different clients over the years and I've always found a way to connect with all of them. I want to make counseling for you an enjoyable yet productive experience where you walk away knowing it was the right decision to take that leap into therapy. It doesn't matter what is bringing you to therapy because the most important aspect is your desire to help yourself get better. Even if you're coming in because of someone putting pressure on you; the fact that you value that relationship to make a change speaks volumes about your character and willingness. My clinical expertise is addiction treatment (both user and impacted family), and my other expertise is in relationship counseling. I work with several couples and also those who are unsure about their relationship. There isn't a wrong time to enter counseling. So whatever your crisis may be at this time in your life, let's sit down together and talk about it. I guarantee you'll feel better about it and have a sense of direction as to what changes you need and are willing to make so you can change your life. I look forward to meeting you.

From a space of non-judgment and sensitivity, I believe it is my job to provide a supportive environment for us to explore patterns that contribute to the pain and challenges of your everyday life. I aim to bring light to different ways of being, so you can experience less pain, more satisfaction, and a better quality of life. We all get stuck at some point in our lives. It is my job to be present in those "stuck" moments so that we may collaborate in discovering the origins of the pain while identifying a path to well-being that fits for you.

Therapy should be a place where you can show up as your full, authentic self — not the polished version you think you're supposed to be. I'm not the distant, silent, smile-and-nod kind of therapist. Clients tell me they appreciate the validation and empathy I bring, and that I'm not afraid to be direct when it matters. You'll hear me curse once in a while. We'll laugh together, and we'll sit with the hard stuff, and I'll say the honest thing about what's keeping you stuck. At some point one of my dogs or ferrets will make a surprise appearance on screen. I can't ask you to be real with me if I'm not willing to be real with you. My work is grounded in relational and interpersonal approaches, which means the trust between us is central to the healing — not a preliminary to it. Our relationships, with ourselves and with the people and systems around us, tend to be where our deepest wounds come from and where growth actually happens. I'm also trauma-informed, holistic, and multicultural in how I work. I want to understand you in the context of your identity, your history, your culture, and your strengths — not just your symptoms. Depending on what you need, our work might include evidence-based trauma interventions, practical skills, psychoeducation, exploring relationship patterns, creative and expressive approaches, or body-focused techniques. No two people need the same thing, so I don't work from a formula. My job isn't to tell you who to become. It's to help you reconnect with who you already are. Your first consultation is free — a relaxed chance to tell me what's on your mind and ask me anything. Let's get you to more than surviving.
