Addiction Psychiatrist | Addiction Psychiatry
550 Forest Ave Ste 103 Portland ME, 04101About
A passion for helping others coupled with an intense curiosity for the world led me down the path of medicine. As an addiction psychiatrist, I work with patients, families, and our health care system to promote high quality evidence-based screening, assessment, and treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental disorders. Addiction and mental health disorders involve both biology and psychology, and my expertise enables me to disentangle this complexity. I bring a holistic approach to medicine in order to find comfortable and effective solutions for everyone.
