Detoxification, withdrawal management, and relapse prevention for various substances including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine, cocaine, and novel psychoactive substances.
Treatment can also be provided for non-substance-related addictive disorders such as gambling disorder and gaming addiction.
-
Management of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and OCD. These disorders are commonly treated with pharmacotherapy and regular sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Exposure and response prevention therapy may be indicated for OCD.

ADHD affects both children and adults and can be debilitating if left untreated. While prescription stimulants can be effective for ADHD, their use in the treatment of co-occurring ADHD and substance use disorders is more nuanced and a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to ensure the safe use of prescription stimulants.
Treatment
Initial Phone Consultation
15 minutes - free
Prior to scheduling a diagnostic evaluation, we will schedule a brief interview to review your reasons for seeking treatment and your treatment goals in order for us to determine whether treatment with me would be worthwhile. If I do not feel confident that I can help you achieve your goals, I will refer you to one of my colleagues in the Bay Area.
Diagnostic Evaluation
60-90 minutes - $700
A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation includes a review of current symptoms, treatment history, medical history, and social history. By the end of the diagnostic assessment, we will review diagnoses and a detailed treatment plan including potential diagnostic workup, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy.
Follow-up appointments
30-45 minutes - $350-525
Follow-up appointments can vary in frequency, from weekly to monthly, depending on the severity of your symptoms or the intensity of the treatment plan. Routine follow-up appointments for medication management and psychotherapy are necessary to ensure progress is being continually made toward your goals.
