Welcome to
Sol Pediatrics!
I'm Rachel, a pediatric nurse practitioner providing medication management for children and teens with ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

Clinical Focus
ADHD
Medication can help with attention, impulsivity, and follow-through, supporting focus, organization, and the ability to manage everyday demands.
Anxiety & Depression
Sometimes worry, sadness, or other difficult feelings can become so loud that they interfere with everyday life. When appropriate, medication can help turn down the volume, creating more room to cope, connect, and engage in everyday life.
Autism & Co-Occurring Concerns
For children and teens with autism, medication may help with co-occurring concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, or significant irritability. Care focuses on specific symptoms and how they affect daily life, rather than treating autism itself.
Medication Management
What to expect
Medication management starts with understanding your child's symptoms, health history, previous medications, and what has or hasn’t worked before. When medication is appropriate, I’ll explain the options, how they work, possible side effects, and what we’ll monitor so you can make an informed decision.
Follow-up visits
Follow-up visits focus on how the medication is working, side effects, and whether adjustments are needed. Care may also include vital signs, growth monitoring, a focused physical exam, and questionnaires when appropriate.
Approach
A pediatric lens on medication management.
I consider the whole child: their development, physical health, emotional well-being, behavior, environment, and family.
Medication decisions don’t happen in isolation.
Care is thoughtful, evidence-based, and individualized to each child's needs and circumstances.
Patients deserve a voice in their own care.
I make every effort to ensure children and teens feel heard, respected, and included in conversations about their health in ways that fit their age and stage.
Already taking medication?
Establishing care with me does not automatically mean changing a medication or treatment plan. I can take over current prescribing while offering provider access, ongoing assessment, and dedicated attention to your child’s medication management.
Availability
Flexible scheduling, telehealth options, and timely appointment availability make it easier to get started with care.
Understanding
Longer, one-on-one visits give us time to understand what’s changing, answer questions, and clearly explain medication options, what to expect, and what we’ll monitor.
consistency
You work directly with me, providing consistency from visit to visit and allowing me to get to know you, your needs, and what matters to you over time.
