Hi there! I'm a licensed clinical social worker and therapist. I value authenticity, relationships, and curiosity; values that inspired me to pursue this career. I have previous experience as a homeless outreach worker, medical social worker, and IOP/PHP therapist. Prior to going to grad school, I got an Environmental Engineering degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I later rode a bike across the country, moved to Honduras, and worked as a musician & teaching artist in Chicago & suburban schools.

I believe one of the most courageous things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

My goal is to create a safe, grounded, and trusting space where you can begin your process of healing and growth. I work collaboratively with you to build a relationship that feels supportive, attuned, and meaningful—so you can explore what’s been weighing on you and move toward real, lasting change.

My work is rooted in supporting adults navigating trauma and its impact on emotional, relational, and day-to-day functioning. I use an individualized, evidence-based approach, integrating modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-focused therapies to ensure your care is tailored specifically to you.

I have worked with individuals, families, and diverse populations across multiple settings, including private practice, hospitals, and community-based programs.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with a concentration in Trauma and Crisis Intervention. Prior to this, I obtained my MD from Garyunis University in Benghazi, where I began my career as a psychiatrist, working in high-intensity and war-affected environments. That experience shaped my deep commitment to understanding trauma and the human capacity for resilience.

Since then, my work has expanded across different countries and clinical settings, including private practice, hospitals, and advocacy programs addressing domestic violence, sexual trauma, and gender-based violence.

What I value most in this work is witnessing your growth—supporting you in making sense of your experiences, reconnecting with yourself, and stepping into a more grounded, meaningful life.

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 Chicago

Finding ADHD therapists in Chicago starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy can help with executive function skills, organization, emotional regulation, focus, and daily structure. Some people look for adult ADHD therapy or ADHD counseling, while others need support for a child or teen. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose bio mentions ADHD, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or experience with adult or pediatric ADHD.

Chicago has many mental health professionals across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, and the South Side, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you want in-person sessions near home, work, school, or transit, or virtual appointments that fit around your schedule. ADHD often overlaps with concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or sleep challenges, so it can help to choose a therapist with experience across more than one area. Before booking, read the therapist’s profile to understand their approach, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

ADHD therapy in Chicago can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
