Many of the adults I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, overwhelm, or the feeling that they've spent years adapting and still don't feel like themselves. I specialize in ADHD and neurodivergence, and it’s work I care about deeply.

I believe real change happens when insight is paired with action.

  1. I am a clinical psychologist having worked in hospitals, private practices, teaching in universities including the University of Chicago School of Medicine. I also consulted with rehabilitation centers and nursing homes here in Illinois. My work included a wide range of ages but I specialize with seniors and how their lives changed over the years. Yes, you guessed it. I am a senior too so I know what it is all about.
