Following specialty training in pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and in pediatric neurology at Seattle Children’s Hospital, she now practices at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, where she focuses on treating ADHD in both children and adults.
 Dr. Sarah shares her expertise on how ADHD is often intertwined with anxiety and depression, offering valuable insights and practical advice for managing these complex issues. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between focus and self-esteem, and how lack of focus can lead to negative experiences and increased anxiety.
