how I can help
Areas of Care
Compassionate, personalized psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 7–28.
ADHD
ADHD
Focus, clarity, and confidence — at every age.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder looks different in every person. For a 7-year-old it might be constant movement and difficulty sitting still in class. For a teenager it might be forgetting assignments, losing things, or feeling like their brain never slows down. For a young adult it might show up as chronic disorganization, missed deadlines, or a sense of underachieving despite trying hard.
At Evolution Psychiatry, I take time to truly understand how ADHD is showing up in your life — not just the symptoms on a checklist, but how it's affecting your relationships, school, work, and self-esteem.
Treatment may include medication management, psychoeducation, and practical strategies for building routines, improving focus, and managing impulsivity. I work closely with you and your family to find an approach that feels right.
Signs to look for
- Difficulty staying focused or following through on tasks
- Forgetfulness, losing things frequently
- Impulsive decisions or interrupting others
- Feeling restless, fidgety, or always "on the go"
- Struggling with time management and organization
- Emotional dysregulation or low frustration tolerance
Anxiety
Anxiety
Calm the noise. Build your confidence.
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges in young people — and one of the most treatable. It can look like a child who refuses to go to school, a teenager paralyzed by social situations, or a young adult whose worry never seems to turn off.
Whether it's generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, or separation anxiety, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to explore what's driving the fear and develop real tools to manage it.
My approach combines careful evaluation with evidence-informed treatment — which may include medication when appropriate — to help you or your child feel more grounded, capable, and at ease in daily life.
Signs to look for
- Excessive worry that's hard to control
- Avoidance of school, social situations, or new experiences
- Physical symptoms like stomachaches, headaches, or racing heart
- Difficulty sleeping due to racing thoughts
- Panic attacks or sudden waves of intense fear
- Seeking constant reassurance from parents or caregivers
Depression
Depression
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
Depression in young people doesn't always look like sadness. It can show up as irritability, withdrawal from friends and activities, changes in sleep or appetite, or a persistent feeling of emptiness or hopelessness. Many children and teens suffer in silence because they don't recognize what they're experiencing — or feel too ashamed to ask for help.
I believe every young person deserves to feel engaged, motivated, and connected to the people and things they love. At Evolution Psychiatry, I provide compassionate, individualized care to help lift the weight of depression.
Treatment is tailored to each person's needs and may include medication management alongside therapy referrals. I work collaboratively with you and your family every step of the way.
Signs to look for
- Persistent sadness, emptiness, or irritability
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in sleep — sleeping too much or too little
- Low energy, fatigue, or feeling slowed down
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
Medication Management
Medication Management
The right support, carefully calibrated.
Medication can be a powerful tool in the treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions — but it works best when it's thoughtfully prescribed, closely monitored, and part of a broader care plan.
I take a careful, collaborative approach to medication management. That means starting with a thorough evaluation, explaining your options clearly, and checking in regularly to make sure your treatment is working well and feeling right.
I always involve you — and your family when appropriate — in every decision. You'll never feel like a number here. My goal is to find the lowest effective dose with the fewest side effects, and to adjust as your needs change over time.
What I offer
- Ongoing evaluation and monitoring of psychiatric medications
- Adjustments based on response, side effects, and life changes
- Coordination with therapists, pediatricians, and school teams
- Education for patients and families about medications
- Support transitioning from child to adult psychiatric care
- Second opinions on existing medication regimens
