Blue Care Network Psychiatrists in Royal Oak, MI
Many of the people I see are often functioning on the outside while struggling internally. They may feel anxious, sad, or emotionally worn down, and unsure why life feels harder. Like many, they are tired of guessing, overthinking, or feeling dismissed. They are seeking clarity, stability, and care that helps them develop a better understanding of what they’re experiencing and how to move forward.

My ideal clients are women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who suspect, or have just learned, that ADHD explains a lifetime of working harder than everyone else just to keep up. Many were high-achieving and never flagged as children because their symptoms didn't look hyperactive. They often arrive after years of being told it was 'just anxiety' or 'just stress.' I provide a careful evaluation, distinguish ADHD from overlapping conditions, and build a treatment plan around how ADHD actually shows up in your daily life, so you can move forward with clarity instead of self-blame.

Connecting with clients is the foundation of my practice. Checking in regularly about goals and satisfaction with treatment helps build trust and develop growth. Identifying barriers hindering progress and developing a plan focused on growth is a key component. I respect that mental health has many “layers” to it, and that is why I use a holistic approach, not just focusing on symptoms.
