I understand the importance of having to change in order to live in line with your own personal values.

I am a Yale, UCLA and UCSF-trained addiction psychiatrist. I provide confidential, evidence-based treatment for mental health issues and addictions, including opioids, alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, tobacco, cannabis, and behavioral addictions like internet, gaming, and gambling.

Though validated treatments exist, these are often underutilized due to medical providers’ discomfort, lack of education, and/or stigma.
