I am a University of Washington and UCSF-trained addiction and general psychiatrist and scientist. I carry a small panel of patients so that I can best deliver comprehensive and personalized care. I specialize in treating complex addiction issues, dual-diagnoses such as ADHD and depression combined with substance use, and behavioral addictions such as gambling. I tailor treatment based on the individual, and I have expertise with both abstinence and harm-reduction approaches to recovery. In designing a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan, I consider the most up-to-date evidence-based methods and latest research.
We will spend time discussing your life story, how your current situation came about, and your goals for treatment. I treat addiction proactively and holistically, utilizing a combination of medications and psychotherapy, so that you can get back to living a life in accordance with your values as quickly as possible.
I have significant experience treating alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepine, stimulant, and cannabis use disorders, and less conventional substances and behavioral addictions. If any of the above resonates, and you are looking for a compassionate and available addiction psychiatrist, please do not hesitate to give me a call.
