Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Homewood, IL
My work is grounded in the understanding that our experiences shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. In therapy, we’ll explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, discovering new ways to connect and grow.
I provide therapy for adolescents and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, the impact of trauma, and life transitions. I'm also interested in supporting mothers seeking balance and reconnection with their identity and sense of self.

The therapeutic approaches I work with are CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness.
We can start by building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect while exploring areas of your life you may find challenging. We will work together to learn and implement the skills that are necessary to face those challenges and improve your overall wellness.

I specialize in working with college-aged adults and professionals who are navigating major life transitions. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to walk alongside you as you manage challenges such as career burnout, adjusting from college to full-time work, or balancing the demands of job and family life.
It takes courage to recognize when life feels overwhelming and to seek support. My approach is strengths-based, grounded in the belief that you already possess the inner resources to set meaningful goals and create lasting change.
When you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be glad to connect.

I am also certified in DBT.
A typical session with me varies depending on the person and their needs. I enjoy integrating previous conversations and current happenings to make sure the client addresses what they need to, and what they feel comfortable with that day. I plan to meet you where you are and go by your agenda. I prefer to use the first appointment to build rapport and trust. I like to set goals during the second session to get an idea of what it is you are looking for in therapy. These goals can always evolve or change as we move through therapy as needed. You are the expert on your experience, I am here to hold the tools and help you build!

Using CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused, and person-centered care, I help clients feel understood and build the skills to stay grounded when life feels overwhelming.
Today’s world brings unique and often unseen stressors for adolescents, young adults, and adults, making it difficult for them and for those around them to understand their feelings and behaviors. These challenges can strain relationships, school, work, and daily life, leaving many people feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood. For eight years, I have supported individuals in building coping tools, deepening emotional awareness, and gently exploring how trauma has shaped their experiences and their futures.

Do you find yourself stuck on repeat, carrying pain from the past that won’t fade? Are you ready to stop only surviving and start living more fully?
I believe we all have a “B-Side, ”the raw, unfiltered part of us that holds our real stories. While the A-side is polished for the world, the B-side carries the deeper emotions, experiences, and wounds we often keep hidden. But just like in music, those B-sides hold the real artistry and truth. Therapy is where we tune into that side together. In a warm, judgment-free space, you set the pace, and I help you process the tough parts without pressure - just truth, healing, and humor.
