You can control your alcohol use with Naltrexone, which has been FDA-approved since 1994. Just take it one hour before your first drink, and the medication will block the "buzz" you would normally get. Without this reward, you can gradually reduce your use and improve your control.

I am a Yale, UCLA and UCSF-trained addiction psychiatrist. I provide confidential, evidence-based treatment for mental health issues and addictions, including opioids, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, tobacco, cannabis, and behavioral addictions like internet, gaming, and gambling. These are NOT moral or character failings, but rather medical conditions that can affect anyone at any time, from any walk of life, with oftentimes serious personal, relational, and professional consequences. Though validated treatments exist, these are often underutilized due to medical providers’ discomfort, lack of education, and/or stigma.

Do you want to be known and understood deeply without restrictions? Do you want to unearth the lost parts of yourself during an integrative process with another person? Do you want to have the experience that someone gets you and even understands the parts of yourself you don't enjoy or that cause you trouble?

My work is focused on cultivating and utilizing therapeutic relationships for deep self-exploration. Expanding our conscious awareness is critical to help identify and work with the root cause(s) of our joy and suffering. A prescription pad isn't sufficient to treat complex human mind-body-heart challenges like depression, anxiety, disordered eating, OCD, or PTSD/CPTSD. Building a safe, reliable supportive psychotherapeutic relationship is as important in my work as medication. I also offer in-person Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in San Francisco, CA only.
