Êtes-vous un adulte souffrant de Troubles Déficitaires de l’Attention (avec ou sans) Hyperactivité (TDAH) ? Vous sentez-vous considéré(e) comme étant un(e) "angoissé(e)" ou "déprimé(e)" ? Est-ce que vous vous sentez incompris(e), critiqué(e) voire mal jugé(e)? Vous vous savez inteligent(e) mais en dépit de vos dons et aptitudes, vous vous sentez en grande difficulté voire incapable de réaliser votre potentiel et cela vous décourage. Les adultes et même les enfants (non hyperactifs) atteints de TDAH ont eu beaucoup de mal à se faire reconnaitre comme tels aux USA et plus particulièrement encore en France.

My approach is based on integrative psychiatry, which uses medications, therapy and complementary medicine to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I address the combined impact of sleep, lifestyle, relationships, nutrition and chronic medical conditions on well-being, and use cutting edge tools like genetic testing to guide personalized treatment with medication and supplements. I consider the patient’s cultural background in my assessments and I can provide treatment in Spanish, Portuguese,
French
and Italian. My goal is to help my patients create lasting changes and build vitality, resilience and purpose in life.
