My expertise lies in treating addiction and alcohol abuse in high functioning Executives and Professionals. Many of my clients seek treatment because their
substance use
is threatening their success: they have much to lose, and want to regain control of their lives. Rather than classify patients as "addicts" and put them in a one-size-fits-all spiritual or CBT program, my practice philosophy is unique in the addiction field: A completely individualized, humanistic treatment approach. Each person is assessed to formulate a customized plan that can include medication assisted treatment (now considered a gold standard) and/or individual psychotherapy.

Are you always a little bit afraid that another relapse to your substance is waiting just around the corner? Have you tried and failed countless times to stop your use on your own? Have you gone to other clinicians for addiction treatment, but had relapsed or worsening depression, anxiety, relationship and job consequences? This is how an addiction psychiatrist excels in addiction treatment.

In addition to working with anxiety and mood disorders, my specialty lies with helping patients overcome their problems with
substance use
.
I am an adult psychiatrist with many years of experience. After working in inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs for almost 15 years, I have chosen to focus on my private practice, where I can make a personal difference in the lives of my patients. I do not believe in medication-only treatment. I feel that each of my patients has very unique issues and problems, and needs to be treated as an individual, without one-size-fits-all solutions. I focus on getting to know my patients and creating an individualized treatment plan.
