With over two decades of experience in adult psychiatry, I provide comprehensive, physician-direct care focused on diagnostic clarity and long-term stability. Initial evaluations are 90 minutes, allowing time for careful assessment and patient education. This is a direct-pay practice (insurance is not accepted), structured to support thoughtful, individualized treatment without unnecessary frequency or administrative barriers.


ADHD in High-Performance Professions
Structured professions reward persistence, intensity, and sustained effort.
External structure, deadlines, and high expectations can help compensate for executive function vulnerabilities, allowing capable individuals to perform at very high levels for many years.
As responsibilities expand, the complexity of demands may exceed the effectiveness of compensatory strategies, increasing vulnerability to inefficiency, chronic stress, or burnout.
This pattern is often seen in fields such as medicine, law, engineering, finance, technology, and other cognitively demanding professions.
The challenge is rarely dedication. More often, it is regulation.
