Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Chicago Heights, IL
Approaches such as DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and as a yoga instructor I also use yoga therapy practices as well.
I am a master-level therapist who has over 20 years of experience working with individuals who struggle with maintaining optimal and balanced mental health. Mental well- being is at the heart of the work that I do. I believe that at some point in time we experience trauma or severe life stressors which can seriously impair our daily functionality. These experiences, although emotional in nature, have the propensity to negatively impact both emotional health and physical health. My passion is bringing understanding as well as healing to counteract the harmful effects of traumatic/stressful encounters which impact us.

When thinking about the clients I most enjoy working with I imagine the people who are willing to put in the work, even when it can be challenging.

Willing to explore how their experiences and relationships have shaped them over the years as well as how to heal from some of them as well.

Therapy isn't about having all the answers, it's about building the skills and mindset to face what's hard. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and problem gambling, helping them move through life's challenges with more steadiness and self-trust. My approach is highly collaborative: you're the expert on your own life, and my job is to bring evidence-based tools you can actually use in real-time when things get difficult. Together, we build emotional regulation skills, work toward greater self-awareness, and develop the resilience to handle whatever life brings next.

With such a fast pace of life, you may feel like you're standing still while everything seems to be zooming around and past you. You could be getting frustrated, going through the motions or drowning within a never ending list of “to-do’s”. This frustration could leave you feeling like everything is spinning out of control and it’s hard to make decisions. You might even find yourself questioning what you’ve done wrong, wondering how things got this way and why this is happening to you. You can calm the internal noise and build the confidence you need to feel in control of your own life. I know what it's like to overthink and doubt.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
