When appropriate, objective attention testing (QbTest) may be used to support ADHD diagnosis and monitor treatment response.

While I prioritize holistic approaches when working with your child, I also understand that medication can play a key role in treating psychiatric conditions. My approach to prescribing is guided by psychodynamic principles, which means I consider your child’s unique personality and values, aiming to maximize the benefits of medication while minimizing potential side effects.

When treating children and adolescents, I place great importance on reducing the reliance on medications whenever possible. I am committed to listening to both you and your child, addressing any concerns, and ensuring that any treatment decisions are fully understood and agreed upon by everyone involved.

Conventional lab tests don't always provide the full picture. I use specialized testing to identify any physiological imbalances that may be contributing to your child’s symptoms. By addressing the root cause, I can optimize treatment outcomes and tailor medications and other therapies to your child's unique needs.

Integrating supplements and natural remedies into the treatment plan has been shown to support mental health and enhance treatment outcomes. In certain instances, nutraceuticals may even enable a reduction in medication dosage. We will explore these options together to determine the most effective approach for your unique needs and goals.

As a parent, I understand how challenging it can be to prepare healthy, nutritious meals after a long day of work, errands, and shuttling kids between activities. After the birth of my first child, my grandmother shared a valuable acronym with me: KISS—Keep It Simple, Silly. I’ve embraced this approach for the past 7 years, helping me maintain both my sanity and my family’s health! I’ll work with you and your child to not only learn about proper nutrition but also how to keep it simple and manageable, so you can do the same.

Recognizing that mental health is intimately connected to all aspects of life, I coordinate and collaborate with other providers and specialists to ensure cohesive, quality care across all domains of functioning. Through collaboration and communication, I work to create a network of support that promotes overall well-being.
