I am a Columbia-trained general and addiction psychiatrist and researcher. My practice focuses on delivering high-quality treatment to a small number of patients. I focus on complex substance use, co-morbid/dual diagnoses cases such as Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and depression, and behavioral addictions such as sex/gaming addiction. I conduct both talk therapy and use medications in my practice and work with both patients and their families. The goal is transformative change in behavior patterns to help patients achieve their highest level of functioning.
My practice is grounded in the latest scientific advances in behavioral neuroscience, clinical trial data, and clinical data science. I also provide office-based buprenorphine and depot injections (Vivitrol, Sublocade, Brixadi) and ketamine treatment. New patients are evaluated through a comprehensive 90-min process.
I am an out-of-network with major insurance plans and have some sliding scale availability. If you are looking for addiction treatment driven by cutting-edge neuroscience my practice may be a good fit. Based in New York, I am licensed and see patients in NY, NJ, NC, CA and in international consultations.
