My website

I specialize in supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults who struggle with overwhelming emotions, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and relationship difficulties. With advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I provide a safe and structured space where you can feel understood, build clarity, and take steps toward lasting change. My approach is collaborative and hands-on: I’ll offer practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships, while also helping you shift the deeper patterns that hold you back.

I provide full-protocol DBT—individual therapy, skills training, and phone coaching—and receive supervision from a DBT-Linehan Board-Certified clinician to ensure the highest standard of care. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your resilience, increase self-understanding, and move you closer to the life you want to create.

At Rosewatter Chicagoland Counseling, I provide both in-person and virtual therapy. Whether you’re seeking full DBT or a DBT-informed space to feel heard and supported, I’m happy to talk through what getting started might look like.
