Why I Got Started
I Am An Educator
I educate healthcare professionals and the public via webinars, articles in esteemed publications such as Additude Magazine and Clinical Psychiatry News, and insightful guest appearances on mental health and wellness podcasts.
I Am A Patient
Like you, I was not diagnosed or treated for ADHD until I was an adult.
I Am A Psychiatrist
On a mission to transform lives impacted by adult ADHD.
My Story
With over ten years of experience, I am dedicated to being a leading expert for adults with ADHD. I provide personalized, high-quality psychiatric assessments and treatment that have helped thousands of people live happier and more productive lives.
​
I understand the challenges that adults with ADHD face, and I am passionate about helping my patients achieve more balance and consistency in their lives. If you're ready to take control of your life, I'm here to help.
​
I offer combined medication management and therapy or simply medication management for patients who already have an established treatment with a therapist. I will work closely with your therapist and collaborate on your care.
​
After obtaining a complete psychiatric and medical history, I will explore the reasons that brought you into treatment, determine the most significant struggles affecting your functioning, and establish a collaborative treatment plan.
​
My goal is to help individuals with ADHD improve their performance at work and school, strengthen their relationships, and increase their confidence and overall well-being.
​
My preference for practicing psychiatry in a fee-for-service private practice stems from my passion for providing quality care to all my patients. I believe that the most valuable tool I can provide is the time and space to tell your story.
