ADHD
ADHD care for every age, done thoroughly.
ADHD can show up at any age. Children and teens may struggle with focus, school or emotions, while many adults, especially women, reach adulthood without a diagnosis. Symptoms are often masked by hard work and coping strategies, then get harder to manage with a demanding job, parenting or perimenopause. A good evaluation confirms ADHD and rules out the conditions that look like it.

Who you'll see
Common questions
Do you see children and teens?
Yes. We see patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults, and tailor the evaluation and plan to each stage of life.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When clinically appropriate. Stimulants are controlled substances with extra federal and state requirements, and we'll discuss all options with you, including non-stimulants.
Can ADHD show up in perimenopause?
Falling estrogen can make focus, memory and organization harder. For some women this unmasks lifelong ADHD; for others the cause is different. An evaluation helps tell them apart.
I was diagnosed as a child. Can you help now?
Yes. We'll review your history and current symptoms and build a plan for where you are today.
