An Experienced ADHD Provider Who Listens
I have extensive experience evaluating and treating ADHD in adults. With more than 24 years in nursing, 18 of them as an advanced practice nurse practitioner, and board certification in both psychiatry and family practice, I understand how ADHD affects your work, relationships, and confidence.
You'll be heard
Your first visit is a full 90 minutes and follow-ups are never rushed. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what has or hasn't worked before.
You'll be understood
ADHD isn't a character flaw. I understand the frustration of working twice as hard to keep up, and I'll meet you without judgment.
Easy to reach
Secure online scheduling, messaging, and refill requests mean you can reach us directly, without voicemail tag.
Signs of ADHD in Adults
ADHD doesn't end in childhood, and many adults, especially women and high achievers, were never diagnosed. You may recognize yourself in some of these:
- Trouble starting, organizing, or finishing tasks
- Chronic procrastination, then last-minute scrambling
- Losing track of time, keys, bills, or appointments
- A mind that won't slow down, or feels foggy and scattered
- Hyperfocus on some things, can't focus at all on others
- Restlessness, impulsive decisions, or interrupting
- Emotional overwhelm, irritability, or rejection sensitivity
- Feeling you work twice as hard to keep up, and burning out
- Anxiety or depression treatment that never quite helped
- A child recently diagnosed, and you see yourself in them
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Whether you're new to ADHD care or continuing treatment, your first visit is a comprehensive 90-minute evaluation based on current DSM-5-TR criteria, completed by a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
Your story and symptoms
We review your childhood and current symptoms and how they affect work, school, home, and relationships. If you're already diagnosed, we review your records, past treatment, and how your current medication is working.
The full picture
We screen for conditions that can mimic or occur alongside ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and thyroid or hormonal changes, so your treatment targets the right thing.
Lab work when helpful
When appropriate, testing can check thyroid function, iron, vitamin D, B12, and other factors that affect focus and energy.
Your personalized plan
You leave with clear answers and a treatment plan we build together, including medication management when it's right for you.
An Integrative ADHD Treatment Plan, Built With You
Your plan is built around what works for you. Together we'll develop and implement a plan that fits your brain, your body, and your life.
Medication management
Starting, continuing, or fine-tuning stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medications, with careful monitoring and pharmacogenomic (genetic) testing when appropriate to guide choices and reduce side effects.
Skills & therapy
Practical strategies for time management, organization, and follow-through, plus psychotherapy for the frustration or anxiety that years of ADHD can leave behind.
Lifestyle foundations
Sleep, movement, nutrition, and daily routines all affect attention. We build habits that support focus, one manageable step at a time.
Root-cause investigation
Functional and conventional lab testing to identify nutrient deficiencies, hormonal shifts, or medical issues that may be making symptoms worse.
Co-occurring conditions
Many adults with ADHD also live with anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. Treating the whole picture leads to better, longer-lasting results.
Complementary support
Mindfulness, biofeedback, and other integrative therapies can support stress, sleep, and emotional regulation alongside your core treatment.
