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.


1. High Achievement Does Not Rule Out ADHD
Many adults assume professional success excludes ADHD.
In reality, intelligence and drive often mask executive dysfunction for years. Strong reasoning can compensate for inattention. Urgency can substitute for planning. Hyperfocus can produce impressive bursts of productivity.
But compensation is not regulation.
As complexity increases, strain becomes more visible. The issue is rarely ability. It is consistency. Careful evaluation clarifies long-standing patterns.
