Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Lynwood, IL
I use an eclectic approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to support your unique needs.
You may feel like you’re holding it all together on the outside but inside you’re anxious, tired, or weighed down by stress and past experiences. Maybe emotions feel too big to manage, or you’re stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Deep down, you want to feel calmer, more confident, and more in control. You want relationships that feel healthier, boundaries that protect your peace, and the ability to move forward with clarity and hope. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles that no longer serve you, I want you to know that change is possible and you don’t have to carry it all alone.

I view therapy as a safe and sacred space for processing life experiences, emotions, thoughts, and trauma in order to achieve one’s goals and necessary growth. My goal as a therapist is to collaborate with clients to understand their thought processes, address barriers to wellness, and identify ways in which they can achieve their goals. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives: however, sometimes we need an outside perspective to help re-frame our thinking. I’m here to work with you to increase self-awareness and empower you to approach life in a way that enhances health and well-being.

Life can be difficult to navigate—especially when we feel pressured to appear strong while struggling silently inside.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, past wounds, or questions about purpose, we’ll work together to restore balance, clarity, and peace.

I believe the human experience is beautifully complex, with our emotions serving as both a compass and catalyst for growth and healing. When those feelings become overwhelming, it’s easy to feel isolated or stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or hopelessness—but you don’t have to navigate this alone. My passion is creating a space of warmth, understanding, and compassionate curiosity where we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, make room for your full emotional experience, and discover new ways of thinking, relating, and healing.

Relationships can be hard to navigate, especially when you have been hurt by someone you trusted. How do you trust someone again? Is healing possible? You may find yourself questioning your own identity. Whether you were hurt by a friend, a family member, a significant other, or a co-worker, your pain is valid. It can seem easy to push aside feelings of worthlessness, self-doubt, anger, guilt, and sadness, but eventually, those heavy emotions will start to negatively affect how you connect with others around you and how you view yourself.

The therapeutic process can be compared to an excavation site where the client is an archeologist. We see something on the surface that suggests there is something underneath. We dig and explore to see what is there while carefully examining what we discover on the way. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, are struggling with depression or anxiety, and those who struggle with relationships -whether it's with others or themselves. I also work with individuals experiencing suicidality or engaging in self-injurious behavior.

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.
