I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and addiction psychiatrist. I completed training at the University of Virginia and Columbia University. I hold positions as an Assistant Professor at Columbia and a Research Psychiatrist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. I have experience treating depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD/ADD, OCD, thought disorders, and addictions (including alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and cannabis). I can offer psychotherapy to some patients or will work closely with your current therapist. I directly supervise the psychotherapy practice of Bryan Leach, LMSW.
In addition to psychiatric medications, I prescribe buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade) and naltrexone (Vivitrol), and am experienced in providing other FDA-approved and off-label medications for treatment of addictions. I also offer GeneSight genetic testing to tailor psychiatric medication treatment.
I believe in a patient-centered and multi-modal approach to treatment. I strongly promote the use of medications for addictive disorders, in addition to psychotherapy and other psychosocial treatments. I am LGBTQ-affirming and sensitive to LGBTQ issues in psychiatric treatment.
