ADHD is more than focus problems — it’s about shame.
Real ADHD therapy starts with addressing shame — not just focus.
I’M INTERESTED IN INDIVIDUAL THERAPYIf you’ve ever felt like you had to educate your own therapist—or explain why basic life stuff feels impossible—you’re not alone. Too many of us have been dismissed, minimized, or misdiagnosed by people who claim to “specialize in ADHD.”
That’s why it matters who you work with. And it’s why I do this work the way I do. Because I’m not just a therapist who knows ADHD from a textbook—I live it. And honestly? That’s the best part about working with a therapist who actually has ADHD. We don’t just see you. We are you.
We know what it’s like to live in a brain that won’t quit. To forget why you walked into the room… like five times. To be emotionally fried from masking all day. To feel like you're constantly running late to a life you’re trying really hard to show up for.
We know the dread, the overthinking, the shame, the noise, the brilliance, the stuckness. Because we’ve lived it too.
The best part about working with a therapist who has ADHD?We don't just see you.
We are you.
Not in the “Have you tried using a planner?” kind of way. But, the “Yeah, I’ve lost my keys while holding them and cried because my to-do list felt like a personal attack” kind of way.
We know what it’s like to live in a brain that won’t quit. To forget why you walked into the room… like five times. To be emotionally fried from masking all day. To feel like you're constantly running late to a life you’re trying really hard to show up for.
We know the dread, the overthinking, the shame, the noise, the brilliance, the stuckness. Because we’ve lived it too.
So when we say we get you, we mean it.
Wondering How This Works?
What kinds of clients do you work with?
I specialize in working with adults who were late-diagnosed with ADHD, as well as those navigating shame, trauma, parenting stress, or relational struggles. Many of my clients come in carrying years of self-blame, and our work focuses on unlearning those old stories while building support that actually fits their lives.
Do you only work with ADHD?
While ADHD is my specialty, many clients come to me with overlapping struggles — trauma, anxiety, shame, or relationship patterns that feel hard to break. My lens is always ADHD-informed, but the work often extends into all the places ADHD and trauma intersect.
Are you available for both therapy and consulting?
Yes. I offer individual therapy for adults in Illinois, and I also provide ADHD consulting for therapists and providers who want to better support neurodivergent clients.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. I offer online therapy for adults across Illinois, so you can access ADHD-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space.
How do I get started?
The first step is scheduling a consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk through your needs, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
Whether you were diagnosed years ago, just found out, or are still wondering if ADHD fits your story, ADHD therapy can help you navigate challenges like these:
( YOU'RE NOT ALONE )
🌀 REST ISN'T RESTFULThe body’s still, but the brain keeps spinning. You finally sit down to rest... and instantly feel guilty for not doing more.
🪫 RUNNING ON EMPTYYou feel like you are constantly running on empty, always a step behind, and never quite “enough.”
🔄 The List That Never WorksProductivity tools, planners, apps… none of them fix the executive dysfunction spiral. You rewrite the same to-do list 12 times and still forget to eat.
⚡ All or Nothing (Social Edition)Social interaction is all-or-nothing. There is no in-between. You’re either wildly over-explaining or ghosting everyone you love.
🫥 WORDS THAT SLIP AWAYYou start crying because someone interrupted you, again. Not because you’re sensitive but because you finally had the words, and now they’re gone.
Therapy That Starts With Understanding
Like so many of my clients, I know what it’s like to mask, to feel like you’re always behind, and to burn out trying to keep up. My own ADHD diagnosis gave me language for patterns I had carried for years — and it completely changed how I understood myself.
But what I really learned is how powerful it is to sit across from someone who gets it. Someone who won’t dismiss the shame spirals, the nervous system crashes, or the endless push-pull of “I should be able to do this.”
Now, as an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), I help women and non-binary folks do what I had to learn myself: unmask, unlearn shame, and finally exhale.
I bring clinical expertise, lived experience, and a whole lot of empathy. As an ADHD therapist in Chicago, I help women explore how ADHD and trauma have shaped identity — and work together to separate who you are from survival mode.
