About Treehouse ADHD

You deserve a clinician who truly gets it.

I built this practice because I believe adults with ADHD deserve more than a checklist and a diagnosis. They deserve to be seen, understood, and supported.

Treehouse ADHD clinician

My story

More than 15 years in the making.

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW), Licensed Master Addiction Counselor (LMAC), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) — and I've spent more than 15 years immersed in the world of ADHD: as a clinician, a national advocate, a community builder, and as someone who lives it firsthand. I founded Treehouse ADHD because I believe adults with ADHD deserve more than a checklist and a referral. They deserve a clinician who truly gets it.

Before opening this practice, I worked as a psychotherapist at Jordan Psychological Center and Responsive Centers for Psychology & Learning, conducting adult ADHD evaluations and providing therapy and executive-function coaching. I hold a Master of Social Work from Fordham University, where I graduated with a 3.98 GPA and was inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. My field placements were in corrections — working with justice-involved adults, a population that is dramatically underserved when it comes to ADHD identification and care.

I've served as President of CHADD's national Board of Directors and currently serve as Immediate Past President and co-chair of CHADD's Advocacy & Public Policy and Governance Committees. I co-founded ADHDKC — Kansas City's CHADD chapter — which has been named CHADD Chapter of the Year three times. I was selected as a Technical Expert Panel member for an AHRQ-commissioned systematic review of adult ADHD diagnosis, and as a Stage 3 reviewer for the first U.S. clinical practice guideline on adult ADHD. I'm also a co-author of a 2025 paper in World Psychiatry on ADHD in adults.

I specialize in the intersection of ADHD and substance use and recovery — because ADHD rarely travels alone, and because so many adults with undiagnosed ADHD have spent years self-medicating without knowing why. I also have deep experience with late-diagnosed adults, girls and women with ADHD, executive-function challenges, and neurodiversity in the workplace. I bring all of that — the clinical training, the research, the lived experience, and the advocacy — into every session.

The name Treehouse ADHD reflects my vision for this practice: a place apart, rooted in something solid, where you can finally breathe, see things clearly, and start building a life that actually works for your brain.

My approach

Warm. Evidence-based. Deeply human.

Strengths-based

We start with what's working, then build from there. Your ADHD brain has gifts — we'll find them together.

Neurodiversity-affirming

I don't pathologize difference. ADHD is a neurological variation, not a character flaw or a failure of willpower.

Trauma-informed

Many adults with ADHD carry wounds from years of being misunderstood. I hold that history with care.

Collaborative

You're the expert on your own life. My job is to bring clinical knowledge to a partnership — not to tell you who you are.
