Somatic Trauma Therapy for Adults with ADHD
Holistic + relational trauma therapy for queer, trans & nonbinary adults living with ADHD, burnout or chronic pain in Evanston and online throughout Illinois.
If you’re feeling constantly overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, distant in your relationships and tired of barely making it through each day …
It’s time to reset and realign.
Our bodies know what we need, but we often ignore all the signals.
We push ourselves to the breaking point and it’s not until then that we slow down and listen.
Specialties
You don’t need more coping skills.
You need change that feels tangible and sustainable.
If you live with ADHD, chronic overwhelm, or the lingering effects of relational or developmental trauma, you may be stuck in survival mode.
It might look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected.
My name is Kate (she, they)
I am a licensed clinical therapist in Illinois, trained in evidence-based & holistic modalities for treating ADHD, burnout and CPTSD.
My approach integrates body-based therapies, EMDR, and expressive art therapy to support deep, sustainable healing.
This is structured, depth-oriented trauma work — not surface-level symptom management.
You may feel completely depleted, and asking yourself, “Why can’t I just keep up?”
If you’ve spent years translating yourself so others would understand,
masking with humor, doubting your own experience,
hiding how much you’re really struggling or overcompensating
feeling “behind” despite working twice as hard,
the thought of one more notification and you’re on the brink of losing it …
This is your space to exhale.
