Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Oak Brook, IL


I love helping both children and adults to cope better with stress, feel more hopeful about the future, and to process difficult moments from the past. Many of my clients have the goal to start living a life that aligns with their values; getting closer to what really matters to them. I see the goal of therapy as helping a client to live, work, learn, and play more freely. That might mean helping a child be brave enough to speak in front of their classmates or help an adult learn to set boundaries in their relationships.

I'm a lifelong learner who has many specialties, but my primary specialties would include Exposure and Response Prevention (Anxiety and OCD), Cognitive Processing Therapy (PTSD), ACT (Depression), Theraplay (children 0-5), treatments for neurodiverse peoples (ADHD and ASD), and Psychological Testing. I can also offer services in Spanish and English.

I appreciate the bravery it took to search for a therapist, and I hope I get the chance to help you and your family carve the next step forward. You are welcome to message me with questions or to set up a quick consult call to see what it'd be like to work with me. I guarantee I will respond to your inquiry within 2 business days.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Aurora, IL

Finding ADHD therapists in Aurora starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, CBT for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, organization, focus, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Medication management is different from therapy and is handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for adult ADHD support, pediatric ADHD support, or help after an ADHD evaluation, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.

Aurora has local therapy options, and virtual appointments can add more flexibility when nearby availability, commute time, or scheduling needs shape your search. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, school stress, or work stress, so it helps to look for a therapist with experience across the concerns that matter to you. As you compare Aurora therapists, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, therapy style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and supports people living with ADHD.

Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, including many who are accepting new patients, and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare ADHD therapists in Aurora, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
