Therapists in Illinois
I work with folks of all ages who may be reacting to stresses at work, school, or in relationships, or unhappy with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma. A psychiatrist therapist is just that. Before the first visit, I will first send you medical and other questionnaires to bring with you so we can remain thorough and focused only on your needs. You can usually count on some relief and a clear plan when you leave. Most of my patients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first week or two and sustained improvement thereafter.

I understand the exhausting battle with “Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria,” the toxic shame of ADHD, and your core belief of inadequacy.
You appear to have all your shit together on the outside, but you are a mess on the inside. You don't tell anyone how you really feel for fear of being judged. You are exhausted wearing the mask of the perfect imposter. You ask yourself, "Why is my best never good enough?" You want to believe God has a plan for you, but you're not even sure you believe in God anymore. I assure you, it is not just you. This real-time struggle is real. I know personally, there is hope. We all need the love of community to that hope. I look forward to hearing from you about ways I can help.

Waitlist for new clients
The clients I work with have difficulties with personal relationships, loss, immigration, PTSD, CPTSD, perinatal, addiction, disordered eating, abuse, depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
It is my belief that the most important life skill any person can have is asking for help. My ambition is to create an environment where my clients can feel safe and at ease doing just that. I work with clients to build a trusted, personal relationship where we can focus on their difficulties and collaborate to discover creative approaches to overcome obstacles, and set goals. I hope to build an honest non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts and behaviors to better understand themselves, their emotions, and strategize new approaches to cultivate the changes they want to make.

Life can be challenging, but accessing mental health care shouldn't be. If you're looking for a provider who genuinely listens, takes the time to understand your unique experiences, and helps you uncover the root of your challenges, I’m here for you. As a queer provider, I am passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community as they navigate their identities and experiences. My practice is gender, poly, and kink-affirming. I frequently work with those navigating anxiety, depression, suicidality, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep issues, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and autism.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
