Carlisle, Ohio drew settlers from the east who desired to settle in the fertile lands of the Ohio Valley. Large numbers of them came from New Jersey and it wasn’t long before Carlisle became better known as the Jersey Settlement. Farming, the railroad, and religion united the settlers and despite great urbanization surrounding them, Carlisle maintains a small-town atmosphere today. If your personal history starts to feel distant and disconnected, it may be more than a passing thing.

You don’t have to continue feeling like you’re riding a train to nowhere. Professional confidential counselors in the Carlisle area know just how to help you get on the right tracks to feeling better.

I enjoy helping individuals with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and OCD. My counseling philosophy is integrative, meaning I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and preferences, as well as collaborative, meaning we will work together to pinpoint areas for growth and formulate a plan to improve.

It is my job to help facilitate the process of discovering these tools and help you to utilize them to effect lasting positive change.

Life is a journey and at certain points, we all need guidance and direction to navigate the bumps and roadblocks along the way. We need fellow travelers to come alongside, to be present, to listen, guide and direct without judgement, criticism, or condemnation. If you allow me, I would like to be that person. I have collaborated with people ages 6-82 working to better understand themselves and make peace with their struggles using Cognitive and Achievement assessments, Mindfulness breathing exercises, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have participated in and co-facilitated small women's groups for 18 years using Biblical principles, Spiritual Mindfulness, meditation, prayer, journaling, art, nature, music, CBT, Positive Therapy and Psychotherapy. These groups have addressed issues of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, abuse, and self-destructive behavior patterns. My focus in Psychotherapy includes the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of self because when one part hurts all parts hurt. We are spiritual beings with a need to belong, loved, accepted, and have meaning and purpose to maintain and develop a sense of well-being which, starts in childhood and continues throughout life. My goals in every session are safety, peace, well-being, health, contentment, healing and wholeness in God. I welcome the privilege of walking with you and alongside you if you choose to invite me.
