ADHD care that looks at the whole child
I offer holistic, non-pharmacologic support for children with attention and behavior concerns — screening for what looks like ADHD but isn’t, and building the sleep, nutrition, and activity foundation underneath it.

You’ve been here before.
- Focus problems along with poor sleep, snoring, or restlessness
- Big afternoon crashes and mood swings
- Medication that works but comes with side effects you’re uneasy about
- Nobody has checked anything beyond a rating scale
Focus is affected by more than the brain alone.
Trouble breathing well at night
Enlarged tonsils and mouth breathing can produce a picture that looks almost identical to ADHD. This gets missed constantly.
Low iron stores
Iron levels below optimal are repeatedly linked to more severe ADHD symptoms — and they’re rarely measured.
Omega-3 levels
Modest but real evidence for benefit, and an easy thing to check and correct.
Blood sugar swings
Erratic energy and mood often track closely with what breakfast looked like — or whether there was one.
The gut-brain connection
Digestive symptoms and behavioral symptoms travel together more often than coincidence would explain.
Sleep quality overall
Poor sleep can look a great deal like inattention during the day, independent of any breathing issue.
Find the driver. Then treat it.
A board-certified pediatrician with the time to look properly — working alongside your child’s prescriber, therapist, and school team, not replacing them.
- 1Screen for the look-alikes first — sleep, iron, thyroid, hearing, and learning differences.
- 2Targeted labs that actually inform a plan, not a blanket panel.
- 3Nutrition and sleep as first-line steps, not an afterthought.
- 4Supplement recommendations graded by real evidence, with honest expectations set up front.
- 5Ongoing coordination with your child’s prescriber, therapist, and school team.
Focus and development concerns often overlap.
Sleep, nutrition, and gut health show up across attention, mood, and developmental concerns alike.
A note on scope: my role is holistic and non-pharmacologic — screening for look-alikes, and supporting sleep, nutrition, and activity. I don’t prescribe or manage stimulant medication. That stays with your child’s prescriber, and I work alongside them.
