About
With nearly 2 decades in community mental health, I bring a caring, empathetic, and respectful approach grounded in the belief that—with the right support and motivation—every person has the capacity to grow and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I take a collaborative, strengths-based, and compassionate approach to help clients build confidence, develop healthier patterns, and create meaningful change in their lives. I strive to provide a warm, grounded, and empowering therapeutic space where you can feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Valparaiso University. My work integrates solution-focused, client-centered, and goal-oriented approaches, using empathetic listening and practical strategies to help clients gain insight, strengthen coping skills, and make steady, meaningful progress toward their personal goals.
You deserve support that feels compassionate, positive, and free of judgment. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to manage it alone. I’m here to listen, understand, and walk with you at your pace. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you on your journey toward greater peace, clarity, and emotional well-being.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Evergreen Park, IL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
