I help women with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, and emotional overwhelm, especially when symptoms feel hard to separate from stress or hormone changes.
You shouldn’t have to guess why you feel "off."
Many of the women I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. They are often stuck in a cycle of questioning their own experiences—wondering if their struggles are "just stress" or something deeper involving hormone shifts and mental health. It can be incredibly isolating to seek answers only to feel dismissed or rushed through an appointment.

FAQ - ADHD Psychiatrists
What is ADHD and how can psychiatrists help?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition characterized by emotional dysregulation and symptoms of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Individuals with ADHD often experience challenges in school or in workplace settings, as they may face significant difficulty in maintaining focus, managing time, completing tasks, and navigating interpersonal relationships in these settings. Seeing a psychiatrist can be a helpful step for clients seeking support in managing ADHD symptoms, either through medication, therapy, or a combination of both. While ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in childhood—typically before the age of 12—some individuals may not notice symptoms until adolescence or adulthood.
What are the diagnosis and treatment options for ADHD?
Psychiatrists are equipped to offer diagnostic evaluations for ADHD, which can help confirm whether the condition is present and guide the selection of an appropriate treatment plan. The most frequently prescribed medications for ADHD are stimulants which are known to be highly effective in managing core symptoms. However, in some cases, non-stimulant medications or medications used to address co-occurring conditions—such as antidepressants—may be recommended instead or in addition. Medication tends to be most effective when paired with behavioral interventions, including executive function coaching, which aims to strengthen skills like organization, time management, and task completion. For younger clients, involving family members in treatment can be especially important, as parents and caregivers often play a central role in supporting behavioral change and ensuring proper medication management, when appropriate, for younger individuals.
How can I find an ADHD psychiatrist
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful resource for locating psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD. The platform allows users to filter search results by provider specialty, cost, location, and identity preferences. When evaluating potential providers, it is important to ask about their experience in treating ADHD, as well as their typical approach to therapy and medication. For families seeking evaluation for a young child, it may be beneficial to search for a child psychiatrist who specializes in pediatric assessments and may be more knowledgable about appropriate treatment and medication for younger clients. In addition, it's important to verify whether a potential psychiatrist accepts your insurance—and, since not all plans fully cover ADHD assessments or testing services, it’s especially important to confirm that these specific services are included in your coverage before starting the treatment process.
