A Space for Those Who See and Experience the World Differently

Maybe you’ve spent much of your life feeling like you don’t quite fit—like you experience the world differently than the people around you. You might have a diagnosis, be questioning it, or not have a name for it at all.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis to be here.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who resonate with neurodivergent experiences, especially those connected to autism and ADHD. Many of the people I support have spent a long time trying to make traditional approaches work, often feeling misunderstood or overlooked in the process.

This is a space where you don’t have to force yourself into a mold that was never designed for you. Together, we focus on understanding how your mind works, honoring your experiences, and finding ways of living and relating that actually fit.

We’ll move at a pace that feels right, getting curious about your experiences and what actually supports you. This is something we journey through together—building understanding, flexibility, and ways of living and relating that truly fit.

Hi, I’m Dr. Taylor.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Illinois who specializes in working with neurodivergent individuals and the people who love them. My work is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming approach, with a focus on autism and ADHD, as well as those who have always felt different but may not have a formal diagnosis.

I was drawn to this work through both professional training and personal experiences, as well as sitting with people who have spent much of their lives feeling misunderstood or out of place. Again and again, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone finally feels seen and understood in a way that actually fits them.

I understand that for many people, therapy hasn’t always felt like a good fit. You may have felt misunderstood, pathologized, or like you had to explain yourself in ways that didn’t quite capture your experience. Because of that, I approach this work with curiosity, flexibility, and respect for the ways each person’s mind works.

I aim to create a collaborative space. We’ll focus on understanding your experiences, making sense of patterns, and finding strategies that actually support you—rather than trying to force change that doesn’t fit. My goal is to help strengthen connections, reduce misunderstandings, and create environments where everyone can feel more at ease being themselves.

At the core of my work is the belief that you or your loved one is not broken and doesn’t need to be “fixed.” You deserve support that meets you where you are, and we can figure that out together.

Outside of my work, I’m drawn to activities that feel grounding and immersive—spending time with family, being in nature, engaging in some kind of physical movement, getting lost in fantasy- and Sci-Fi-based books, shows, or games, and doing some sort of creative project. I believe that interests and creative pursuits aren’t just hobbies—they’re an important part of regulation, identity, and overall well-being.
