About My Clients
Here at Evolve Therapy and Yoga we work with children/adolescents ages 4-18. We provide evidenced based intervention Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for kids struggling with mood dysregulation, depression, anxiety, peer and family relationships, school refusal, chronic suicidal ideations and self-injurious behaviors. We offer customized treatments plans including Individual therapy, Family Therapy, weekly DBT skills group, and yoga classes.
My Background and Approach
In my practice I utilize Mindfulness tools and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches to help empower our clients. Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and focused breathing, help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce stress, while DBT integrates these practices within its structure to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. By combining Mindfulness with DBT's core skills individuals can enhance their ability to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment, ultimately fostering a more balanced and resilient mindset.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have worked as a clinical manager at a well-known Psychiatric Hospital, Illinois Juvenile Detention Center, and several outpatient settings. I am also a certified yoga instructor with specialization in youth yoga. I have combined my passion for yoga with counseling to help nurture an emotional and physical balance for my clients. It's essential to me that my practice provides a peaceful, judgment-free, compassionate environment where clients can work with DBT licensed therapists and certified yoga instructors to develop customized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.
