I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who takes a specialized and compassionate approach to understanding ADHD. Over the years, I’ve learned that ADHD doesn’t look the same in everyone — and it’s often overlooked, especially in women, high achievers, and those who’ve learned to mask their symptoms. My goal is to see beyond the surface and recognize the patterns others may miss. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, psychoeducation, and evidence-based medication management tailored to each person’s unique story.

Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure where to turn next. They may have tried medications before without feeling fully heard, or they may be new to treatment and want thoughtful guidance. Often, they are looking for clarity, stability, and a provider who will take time to understand their symptoms, medical history, and goals rather than rushing to a one size fits all solution.

FAQ - About Teenage Psychiatry
What does an adolescent psychiatrist do?
Adolescent psychiatrists specialize in the mental health care of pre-teens and teens. Unlike general child psychiatrists who may treat anyone under 18 years old, adolescent psychiatrists often concentrate on youth ages 12 to 18 and are well-versed in the social, cognitive, and emotional issues that specifically affect teenagers. They focus on the unique challenges that arise during these years, such as academic pressure, social and peer dynamics, identity development, family conflict, and increasing emotional and behavioral expectations. In addition, adolescence is often the time when mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, or substance use concerns first emerge or intensify.

Psychiatrists who work with teens are trained to address these issues and often use a combination of talk therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and, when indicated, medication to treat these specific conditions. Psychiatrists with expertise in this area are also skilled at engaging teenagers in the therapeutic process and may have particular expertise in balancing the involvement of the teen's family in treatment in a way that balances the teen’s needs and growing independence. They also frequently coordinate care with schools, therapists, and other providers to ensure teens receive well-rounded support.

How to find a psychiatrist for teens?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists by age-focus, making it easy to find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who work with teens. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a psychiatrist aligns with your teen's needs and is a good fit.
