West Allis, WI 53227
Working in psychiatry for the past 18 years, I have extensive experience treating people age 8 and up for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADD, and more. I also specialize in LGBTQIA issues. In my way of practicing, I want to get to know you as a person and involve you in any decision-making regarding medications. I am casual and relaxed, but professional. I believe that a conversational interview helps me know you and can reveal things that pertain to your mental health. Through interviewing, evaluation, and lab work we can often find issues regarding your personality or physical health that are affecting your mental health.

Milwaukee, WI 53203
In my 20 years of psychiatric practice in hospital, outpatient, community, and municipal settings, I've witnessed and participated in harms perpetrated by a profit-driven, dehumanizing health care system. After trying to provide the best care possible from within, I came to see it as incompatible with my ethics. Reworking Psychiatry is a fully independent practice committed to reducing and repairing harms caused by the medical and mental health system. Most of my clients have experienced injury from prior treatment, and I aim to provide respectful and reparative care, specializing in medication tapering and careful deprescribing.

Drug Abuse Psychiatrists
How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.
How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.
How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?
There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
