Child & Adolescent Psychiatry for High-Achieving Children and Adolescents
Concierge, performance-informed mental health care for children and teens navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and the pressures of elite academics and sport.
Supporting High-Achieving Kids and Teens Under Pressure
Many children and adolescents appear “high-functioning” on the outside—while silently carrying anxiety, emotional overload, perfectionism, or relentless self-criticism. My work is designed for young people whose inner world is working much harder than anyone can see.
A Performance-Informed Approach to Child & Adolescent Mental Health
I provide evidence-based child and adolescent psychiatry for families who want more than symptom management. This work is about protecting development, restoring emotional resilience, and helping a young person function well across school, sport, friendships, and home life.
I work with children ages 5+, including high-achieving students, gifted and high-IQ teens, and competitive youth athletes. In these environments, distress is often disguised as irritability, shutdown, procrastination, panic, underperformance, or an abrupt loss of confidence.
My focus is to help young people build focus, resilience, emotional regulation, and sustainable well-being while preserving identity and confidence.
For High-Achieving Students
Support for academic pressure, perfectionism, executive functioning challenges, and the emotional cost of high expectations.
For Student-Athletes
Psychiatric care and performance-informed support for confidence, focus, recovery, and the mental demands of competition.
Areas of focus include:
✓ ADHD and Executive Functioning (focus, organization, follow-through)
✓ Anxiety, panic, and overthinking under pressure
✓ Depression, low motivation, and emotional exhaustion
✓ Perfectionism, self-criticism, and fear of failure
✓ Emotional dysregulation, irritability, and shutdown patterns
✓ Performance anxiety in school, sport, or auditions
✓ Identity, confidence, and transitions (injury, school change, life shifts)
✓ Family strain related to high expectations and chronic stress
✓ Stress-related somatic symptoms (headaches, stomachaches, fatigue)
