I've had meaningful experience working with patients struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. These challenges often overlap and can show up as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself. I focus on helping patients understand what they're experiencing, such as differentiating intrusive thoughts from more severe conditions, which often reduces fear and improves engagement in treatment. I also work well with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of rumination, avoidance, or emotional dysregulation, helping them build insight and develop more effective ways to cope and function day to day.

As I have grown and developed during the more than 40 years I have practiced psychiatry I feel the need to define myself and my interests more specifically. External forces are working to limit the Psychiatrists' role to medication prescriber. I certainly do some of this as the goal of symptom alleviation is an important one. What appeals most to me, however, is to work with individuals to achieve a more fundamental shift. Growth at a deeper level. Consequently, I have consolidated medication and talk therapy "under one roof." This provides efficiency and power difficult to achieve with split therapy.

FAQ - Alcohol Use Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with alcohol use disorder?
For many individuals, alcohol consumption is a normal part of social events or celebrations. However, alcohol use that becomes more frequent, risky, or disruptive to daily functioning may meet the clinical criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD). At this point, a psychiatric support can be an important step in addressing the issue. Psychiatrists who specialize in alcohol use disorder help individuals understand the psychological and physiological effects of drinking and offer support through therapy and, when appropriate, medications approved for alcohol-related treatment which can reduce cravings and support individuals in reducing or stopping alcohol use.
What does the assessment and treatment planning process involve?
Seeing a psychiatrist for alcohol-related concerns typically begins with an assessment of the person's drinking habits, as well as a screening for any co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related disorders. This evaluation informs the treatment plan and helps determine whether outpatient care is appropriate or if a higher level of intervention is needed first—such as medically supervised detoxification or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Once the appropriate level of care is established, the psychiatrist works with the client to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs and recovery goals. Psychiatric treatment for alcohol use disorders often incorporates evidence-based therapies, including motivational interviewing, harm reduction strategies, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and relapse prevention planning. Depending on the client's goals, treatment may focus on either moderation or complete abstinence. In some cases, psychiatrists may also coordinate with other members of the client's care team, such as primary care providers or addiction specialists, to ensure an integrated approach.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in alcohol use disorder?
The Psychology Today online directory is a valuable resource for finding psychiatrists (MDs) or psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in alcohol use. Users can filter providers based on specialty, insurance accepted, fees, location, and personal identity preferences—such as gender, cultural background, or religious affiliation. Because not all providers treat alcohol-related conditions, it is important to verify a psychiatrist's experience with alcohol use disorder. When contacting a provider, consider asking about their specific experience treating alcohol-related issues, as well as their approach to both medication management and behavioral therapy. This is especially important for individuals seeking a particular type of treatment approach, such as harm reduction or abstinence-based care.
