I am a board-certified addiction psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. I previously served as Professor and Director of the Addiction Psychiatry Division at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I led substance use disorder treatment programs across UCLA and the Greater Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Healthcare System. In 2026, I joined the Medical University of South Carolina as a Professor and Director of the Addiction Sciences Division in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
I specialize in addiction psychiatry and co-occurring disorders, offering medication management and evidence-based treatment. I take a personalized, collaborative approach to support meaningful, lasting change.
I understand how challenging it can be to seek help, especially if past treatment hasn’t worked. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and tailored to you. Together, we can create a path forward that feels manageable and aligned with your goals.
